US President Donald Trump, along with several regional leaders, signed a document on the Gaza ceasefire deal during a summit in Egypt, hailing the release of Israeli captives, as Hamas condemned the “harshest forms of sadism and fascism” endured by Palestinians freed from Israeli jails.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also signed the document on Monday in the Red Sea city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
"This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it? And it's going to hold up too. It's going to hold up,” Trump said in the middle of signing the document.
“This is the day that people around the region and across the world have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for,” the US president said.
“Nobody thought this could happen,” Trump said, describing the Gaza ceasefire agreement as “historic.”
