The U.S. and Egyptian presidents are chairing a gathering of world leaders dubbed “Summit for Peace” on Monday.

U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration brokered the deal, made a whirlwind visit to the region, first to Israel where he addressed the parliament to repeated applause. He landed Monday afternoon in Egypt for the “Summit of Peace” where world leaders are to discuss the ceasefire plan.

Abdel Fattah el-Sissi also reiterated his call for a two-state solution, saying the Palestinians have the right to an independent state alongside Israel.

Israel and Hamas are preparing for indirect negotiations in Egypt on Monday as hopes are rising for a possible ceasefire in Gaza.

It comes as Israel waits for Hamas to release the hostages ahead of Monday's deadline, PM Netanyahu says "tomorrow is the beginning of a new path".

The crash was in Sharm el Sheikh, where indirect talks between Israel and Hamas led to a breakthrough deal. The city will also host a summit on Monday.
