Gaza peace summit 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially been extended an invitation by US President Donald Trump and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to attend the Gaza peace summit in Egypt on Monday, October 13. PM Modi received the last-minute invitation on Saturday, the Indian Express reported. There is, however, no official confirmation regarding his participation at Sharm-el-Sheikh.
The international peace summit is being hosted to finalise an agreement aimed at ending the Gaza war. President Trump and Sisi will co-chair the “Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit on Monday,” according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency. The meeting will see the participation of leaders from over 20 countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and US Secretary General António Guterres.
If PM Modi confirms, there are chances he will meet President Trump amid tariff tensions. The summit may also be fruitful for India to boost the bilateral relations with Egypt and show support and presence in the Middle East.
“The summit aims to end the war in the Gaza Strip, enhance efforts to bring peace and stability to the Middle East, and usher in a new phase of regional security and stability. This summit comes in light of US President Trump’s vision for achieving peace in the region and his relentless efforts to end conflicts around the world,” the Egyptian presidency said.
The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas came into effect on Friday after days of intensive negotiations in Egypt’s Sharm-El-Sheik. The first phase of the plan includes Israeli troop withdrawals from Gaza City, Rafah, Khan Younis, and the north and the release of hostages and prisoners.
