Sharm El-Sheikh, Oct 14 (V7N) – In a landmark diplomatic breakthrough, world leaders have signed a long-awaited peace agreement aimed at ending more than two years of devastating conflict between Israel and Hamas. The signing took place on Monday in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh, marking a historic step toward stability in the Middle East.

The peace accord was signed by U.S. President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, among several other global leaders and representatives. According to live updates from Al Jazeera, approximately 35 heads of state and international delegates attended the summit, underscoring its global importance.

The agreement, facilitated by months of intense diplomatic negotiations, seeks to establish a sustainable ceasefire, open humanitarian corridors, and initiate a framework for long-term political dialogue between Israel and Palestinian factions. It also emphasizes reconstruction efforts in Gaza and a coordinated international mechanism to monitor compliance by both sides.

Following the signing ceremony, President Trump declared, “Today, we have not only ended a war, but we have made history for the Middle East. This is the greatest agreement ever achieved, and it will bring a new dawn of peace.”

When questioned by reporters about the durability of the accord, Trump reaffirmed his confidence, saying firmly, “It will last.”

Regional analysts and observers have described the agreement as a critical moment for Middle East diplomacy, though many note that the success of the deal will depend on its implementation and the willingness of both parties to uphold their commitments.

The signing of the Israel-Hamas peace accord marks the first comprehensive peace initiative endorsed by a wide coalition of international powers since the outbreak of hostilities, offering renewed hope for a region long marred by violence and division.
