On Monday (October 13) at the Sharedsarted moment during the Gaza Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: “You look great, but I have to stop smoking.”
The exchange took place when the world leaders gathered to support the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and discuss long -term efforts to reconstruct in Gaza. The summit, co-chairman of Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sissi and US President Donald Trump, saw more than 20 heads of state and government.
While most discussions focused on the implementation of the ceasefire and reconstruction of the Gaza, the interaction between Erdogan and Meloni offered a rare moment of lightness in the middle of tense diplomatic interviews.
Erdogan’s comment was reportedly delivered by a friendly tone and emphasized the informal exchanges that often occur on the edge of the international summits of high -ranking.
Trump welcomed as a key broker of peace
Before the start of the El-Sissi summit, he appreciated Trump and called him the “only” able to bring peace to the region. The leaders stood up on photographs with the US President who arrived in Sharm El-Sheikh after a short stop in Israel.
Trump urged Israeli legislators to work tailor -made and encourage Palestinians to focus on the reconstruction of the Gaza.
Development of stopping and the remaining challenges
The summit follows the initial phase of the ceasefire, mediated in Qatar. According to the agreement, the Israeli troops withdrew from certain parts of Gaza, allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to return home. Hamas also released the remaining 20 living hostages, while Israel began to free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
Despite these steps, the main questions about the next phase of the agreement, including the disarmament of Hamas, the creation of the post -war government for the Gaza and the determination of the extent of the withdrawal of Israel, remain.
International Plans of Force and Management
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatta emphasized the need for US involvement in peace forces, which is expected to deploy during the next phase. He noted that this power would require the UN Security Council resolution and that Hamas would not have any role in the transitional government of the Gaza.
According to Abdelatty, a 15-member committee of Palestinian technocrats, which is not associated with political factions and tested Israel, will manage everyday administration. Trump’s proposed “Peace Council” will supervise the implementation of the ceasefire phases.
Reconstruction and Global Support Financing
It is expected that the recovery of Gaza will cost $ 53 billion, according to the World Bank and the postwar plan of Egypt. Egypt in November will host a conference on early recovery and reconstruction.
Countries including Jordan and Egypt will train new Palestinian security forces. The United Kingdom promised 20 million GBP ($ 27 million) for projects of water and hygiene, while Germany expressed concern about Israeli military behavior in Gaza.
Regional dynamics and Iran’s influence
Turkey played a key role in facilitating the ceasefire, while Iran, the primary supporter of Hamas, did not participate in the summit.
