Egypt announced on the 11th that it will hold a summit of international leaders focusing on the situation in Gaza on the 13th, in Sharm el-Sheikh. Egypt stated that the summit aims to end the war in the Gaza Strip and open a new chapter in regional security and stability. Regarding this statement, the outside world generally wonders whether the summit can reach a certain consensus to ensure that the subsequent stages of the Gaza ceasefire agreement can also be reached and implemented smoothly.
General reporter Lu Junhong:Egypt’s official local time released a list of leaders of countries and international organizations confirmed to attend the meeting, including UN Secretary-General Guterres, European leaders from France, Britain, Germany, Spain and some Arab and Islamic countries, according to the announced process, the summit will be jointly chaired by Egyptian President Sisi and U.S. President Trump, including a collective meeting attended by all leaders, as well as several separate bilateral talks.
General reporter Lu Junhong:The Egyptian Presidential Office said the summit was intended to end the war in Gaza and open a new page of peace and stability for the Middle East. The general question about this statement was what resolutions and measures the summit could take to ensure that the next phase of the ceasefire agreement could be gradually achieved and smoothly implemented. Because, according to previous experiences, neither of the two brief ceasefire had brought final peace. So, whether this situation could be different, all sides are looking forward to. Another noteworthy point is that Israel not only confirmed that it will not send representatives to the Shamshah Peace Summit, but that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said in his speech on the evening of December 12, that the fighting has not ended, and Israel still faces a huge security challenge.
