More than 20 world leaders are set to join U.S. President Donald Trump in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh on Oct. 13 for an international summit aimed at finalizing an agreement to end the war in Gaza.

Trump arrived in Israel earlier on Monday, as Hamas released 20 hostages as part of the Gaza peace deal he brokered, ending the two-year conflict in the Gaza Strip.
