Negotiated by the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, the accord established a ceasefire, a hostage-prisoner swap, and an initial framework for the reconstruction and future governance of Gaza. While the agreement brought a halt to major hostilities, its long-term viability and significance remain uncertain due to deep-seated issues and the fragile political dynamics in the region.
In October 2025, a peace deal and accompanying summit in Sharm El-Sheikh culminated in an agreement to end the war in Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023.
Background: The Trump Peace Plan and 2025 Gaza Summit:
The Sharm El-Sheikh agreement resulted from U.S.-led diplomatic efforts following the two-year war in Gaza, which had caused a significant humanitarian crisis.
Context of the war: The conflict started on October 7, 2023, after Hamas led attacks on southern Israel. In the two years that followed, the conflict devastated Gaza, with thousands killed and millions displaced.
Trump’s Peace Plan: In September 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump, in his second term, proposed a 20-point peace plan to end the conflict. This plan was the basis for the ceasefire deal agreed upon by Israel and Hamas on October 8, 2025.
The Summit: The “Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit” was co-chaired by Presidents Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on October 13, 2025, to finalize the agreement. Leaders from around 30 countries attended, but Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu was notably absent due to a religious holiday.
Analysis of the accord
The core components of the 2025 accord include:
Ceasefire and Withdrawal: The agreement secured a comprehensive cessation of military operations in Gaza and included a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Hostage-Prisoner Exchange: Hamas released all remaining living Israeli hostages. In exchange, Israel released 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, including some serving life sentences.
International Reconstruction: A major reconstruction effort for Gaza was planned, with international guarantees. An Early Recovery, Reconstruction, and Development Conference is scheduled for November 2025 in Cairo.
Hamas’s Role: The plan calls for the demilitarization of Hamas, with amnesty for militants who decommission weapons and commit to peaceful coexistence. The Palestinian Authority is designated to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza, with the ultimate goal of a reformed PA governing the territory.
Limited Palestinian Statehood: The agreement offers a vague and conditional “pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood”. The full text, called the Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity, was signed by the U.S., Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.
Significance and predictions
The Sharm El-Sheikh Accords represent a major diplomatic moment, but their long-term success is far from guaranteed.
Humanitarian Relief: The immediate significance lies in the end of the devastating war and the potential for large-scale humanitarian aid to reach Gaza’s population.
Fragile Peace: Many analysts and experts caution that this is a “fragile truce” rather than genuine peace. The risk of renewed conflict remains high, particularly if key contentious issues are not resolved.
Major Challenges Ahead: Significant obstacles remain for the next phases of the agreement.Hamas Cooperation: The demilitarization of Hamas is a key point, and the militant group has indicated a review of the plan but resisted demilitarization in the past.
International Force: Details regarding an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to secure Gaza are still unclear.
Governance of Gaza: The transition of power to a reformed Palestinian Authority is a complex process, and its legitimacy and capacity are questionable.

Regional Repercussions: Some observers suggest the accord could pave the way for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, with renewed diplomatic efforts aimed at Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Iran’s boycott of the summit, however, highlights continued regional rivalries.
Political Theater: Skeptics view the agreement with caution, noting that previous peace efforts have faltered. The celebratory tone struck by Trump at the signing is tempered by the complexity of the unresolved issues.
The international community now faces the responsibility of ensuring the accord is implemented and that this fragile moment of hope translates into a lasting and just peace.
