U.S. President Donald Trump attended a peace summit on Oct. 13 in Egypt, where he, alongside the leaders of Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar, signed a declaration to end the war in the Gaza Strip, marking a major milestone in regional peace efforts and signaling what he called a “new beginning” in the Middle East.

Trump was flanked by the leaders of countries that played the key mediating role in the initial phase of the peace deal.
