Starmer participera au sommet égyptien visant à faire avancer les négociations de paix à Gaza

The Prime Minister will attend an international peace summit in Egypt on Monday, where the Gaza peace plan will be signed, Downing Street announced.
Sir Keir Starmer will pay a “special tribute” to US President Donald Trump in Sharm el-Sheikh, No 10 added.

A ceasefire in Gaza took effect Friday morning after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Trump-brokered ceasefire and hostage return agreement, with subsequent phases remaining to be negotiated. The US president will lead the summit alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, with leaders from more than 20 countries participating, a spokesman for Mr. al-Sisi said.

Under the agreement, Hamas has until 12:00 (0900 GMT) Monday to release all Israeli hostages—including 20 who are believed to still be alive, as well as the remains of about 28 deceased hostages.
Israel will also have to release about 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 Gaza detainees, while increased amounts of aid are to enter the Strip.

Many details of later phases, which would be negotiated after the successful completion of the first phase, could be difficult to agree on—such as the governance of Gaza, the extent of the Israeli troop withdrawal, and the disarmament of Hamas.

Downing Street said Monday’s summit would include a “signing ceremony” for the peace plan, “marking a historic turning point for the region after two years of conflict and bloodshed.”
Sir Keir will thank Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for “getting us to this point,” as well as Trump, before calling for continued coordination to ensure “rapid progress toward phase two” of the truce.

10 Downing Street added in its statement: “He will offer the UK’s unwavering support and engagement with international partners to secure the ceasefire, deliver urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza and lay the foundations for lasting peace and security.”

French President Emmanuel Macron will also attend the summit, the Élysée Palace confirmed on Saturday, where he will “express his full support for the implementation of the agreement.”

Confirming the summit late Saturday, an Egyptian presidential spokesman said it aimed to “end the war in the Gaza Strip, strengthen peace and stability efforts in the Middle East, and open a new page in regional security and stability.”

Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he would travel to the region on Monday, address the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, before heading to Egypt.
He said: “We have a lot of leaders from around the world coming as well; they’ve been invited.”

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry also reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the summit arrangements with Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty.

The ceasefire came into effect after the Israeli government approved the first phase of Trump’s ceasefire and hostage return agreement on Thursday, following three days of indirect talks in Egypt.
The Israeli military said it had partially withdrawn its troops from parts of Gaza and withdrawn to an agreed position inside the territory—although troops still occupy half of the Strip.

The UK has already indicated that it has “no plans” to send British troops as part of the multinational force that will monitor the latest ceasefire from Israel.

The United States is moving up to 200 troops already based in the region to what it calls a civil-military coordination center in Israel, officials said, alongside forces from Arab and Muslim countries such as Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said Friday that the UK would continue to support the peace process in other ways, including by considering private funding for Gaza.
