Leaders and senior representatives from more than 20 countries have gathered for the high-level forum. Among those in attendance are the president of Azerbaijan, the king of Jordan, the emir of Qatar, the prime minister of Kuwait, the king of Bahrain, and the head of Palestine. The presidents of Türkiye, Indonesia, France, and Cyprus, as well as the German chancellor, are also present. Additionally, the summit brings together the prime ministers of Britain, Italy, Spain, Greece, Armenia, Hungary, Pakistan, Canada, Norway, and Iraq, along with the vice president of the United Arab Emirates.

Beyond the heads of state and government, key global and regional organisations are also represented. The UN Secretary-General, the head of the Arab League, the president of the European Council, Oman’s foreign minister, a representative of India’s Foreign Ministry, and Japan’s ambassador to Cairo have all joined the gathering.

The Sharm el-Sheikh summit aims to secure lasting peace in the Gaza Strip, enhance regional stability, and usher in a new era of cooperation and security across the Middle East.

The event follows President Trump’s 20-point “Peace Plan,” unveiled on September 29, which outlines a comprehensive framework to end the fighting and establish a long-term political and humanitarian solution to the Gaza crisis.
