US President Donald Trump is set to embark on a diplomatic visit to Israel and Egypt today, where he will address the Israeli parliament and participate in a signing ceremony of the Gaza peace deal. This is President Trump’s first visit to Israel after he announced the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. This visit also coincides with the implementation of the first phase of the Gaza Peace Plan. After Israel, Trump will head to Egypt, which held negotiations between Israel and Hamas after Trump unveiled the 21-point Gaza Peace Plan, which also included the disarmament of the Hamas group. The centrepiece of the visit will be a peace ceremony in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh on Monday afternoon. More than 20 leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, would attend the summit in Sharm El-Sheikh.
