“We commit to resolving future disagreements through diplomatic engagement and negotiation, rather than through force or long conflicts” in the declaration, signed by the leaders of the four states.
The document also emphasizes that peace can be reached if the safety of both Palestinians and Israelis is protected. In addition, the signatory parties accept, based on the joint declaration announced by the White House, that the Middle East must not be suffered by conflicts and “the selective application of peace terms”.
The leaders of the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey signed a peace agreement regarding the Gaza Strip at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday. US President Donald Trump called it “the biggest and most complex deal of his life”. Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi considered the Gaza agreement as a historic turning point.
The summit was chaired by the President of Egypt and his American counterpart. The goal is to strengthen efforts to resolve the conflict in the Gaza Strip, establish peace and stability in the Middle East, and open a new chapter in regional security and stability. More than 20 countries, international, and regional organizations are participating in it.
Ceasefire
Fighting in Gaza stopped on the afternoon of October 10. Before that, HAMAS and Tel-Aviv had agreed to carry out the first phase of a plan to end the conflict.
In September, the White House announced a 20-point plan. The movement must agree not to participate in leading the enclave. Amnesty will be offered to members who support living peacefully and handing over their weapons. However, Israel must not occupy or add Gaza.
HAMAS agreed to release all prisoners and hand over the bodies of the dead, while Tel-Aviv agreed to take away its soldiers from the agreed line and release hundreds of Palestinians from prison, including those sentenced to life imprisonment for terrorism, reported by ria.ru.
