Gaza agreement opens door to new era of peace in Middle East

TEHRAN, Oct. 13 (MNA) –  The agreement on the Gaza Strip signed in Sharm El-Sheikh opens the door to a new era of peace in the Middle East and is a turning point in history, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi said on Monday.

"This is a historic turning point. It [the agreement] opens the door to a new era of peace in the Middle East," Sisi said during the peace summit in Sharm El-Sheikh to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The implementation of the Gaza peace agreement must lead to the creation of the state of Palestine, Sisi said, adding that the two-state solution is the only way to realize the hopes of the peoples of Palestine and Israel.

He also declared that the two-state solution is the only way to realize the hopes of the peoples of Palestine and Israel.

Trump announced on October 8 that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of his plan for a ceasefire and prisoner swap.

The deal followed four days of indirect talks between the two sides in Sharm el-Sheikh, with delegations from Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar, under US supervision.

Phase two of the agreement envisions a new governing framework in Gaza, a security force composed of Palestinians and troops from Arab and Muslim countries, and foreign-funded reconstruction led by Arab states.

Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed more than 67,800 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children, leaving the enclave largely uninhabitable.
