President Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, Turkish President Erdoğan, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani signed the agreement on behalf of the participating nations. Other world leaders watched the signing.
“This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it? And it’s going to hold up too. It’s going to hold up,” Trump said during the signing.
The White House has not yet released the full details of the agreement.
In his speech, Trump called the signing “a turning point for the region,” saying it was the result of months of diplomatic work.
“This is the day people across this region and around the world have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for,” he said.

Notably, representatives from Israel and Hamas did not attend the ceremony or talks in Egypt. Their U.S.-brokered ceasefire officially began last week after two years of war in Gaza.
