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.
