Donald Trump and the Egyptian president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, are due to chair a Gaza peace summit with several world leaders in Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday.

The meeting would take place on Monday afternoon in Egypt’s Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh “with the participation of leaders from more than 20 countries”, the Egyptian presidency said.

The UN secretary general, António Guterres, said he would attend, as will Britain’s prime minister, Keir Starmer, his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, and Pedro Sánchez of Spain. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has also confirmed his attendance.

There was no immediate word about whether Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu would be in Sharm el-Sheikh. Hamas has said it will not take part.
