World leaders are gathering in Sharm el-Sheikh, where U.S. President Donald Trump and Egypt’s Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi co-chair a summit for peace with Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas attending. As Trump declared the Israel-Hamas war over and prepared to address the Knesset, Hamas began releasing hostages under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, with the Red Cross transferring captives to Israeli custody and jubilant crowds in Tel Aviv cheering their return. The accord envisions talks on Gaza’s future, the EU hailed a “historical milestone,” and Egypt said it will award Trump the Order of the Nile.
