Gaza Peace Summit 13 October 2025
Based on a Reuters report, the Gaza Peace Summit or also known as Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit, is an international diplomatic forum that will be held on October 13, 2025 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
This meeting was held as a follow-up to the initial agreement on the peace plan for Gaza, with the aim of discussing concrete steps to end the conflict and formulate a direction for long-term peace in the region.
The backdrop for holding this conference cannot be separated from the long-standing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has reignited since October 2023. A series of attacks launched by Israel have killed more than 67,600 Palestinians, most of whom were women and children, and made Gaza almost uninhabitable.
The peace plan launched by US President Donald Trump includes several important phases, from the ceasefire, to the exchange of prisoners, to the withdrawal of Israeli troops, to the restructuring of the Gaza government.
This summit represents an important moment to unite the support of the international community while strengthening the real commitment of various countries to create long-term stability in Gaza and the surrounding area.
Through this forum, it is hoped that mutual understanding will emerge between countries regarding strategic steps in rebuilding Gaza, strengthening humanitarian cooperation and ensuring the creation of sustainable peace in the Middle East region.

Goals and issues discussed at the Gaza Peace Summit on 13 October 2025
According to an official statement from the Egyptian Presidential Palace, the Gaza Peace Summit (summit) has the main objective of ending the conflict and violence occurring in the Gaza Strip, as well as strengthening international cooperation in establishing peace and stability in the Middle East region.
Besides that, this meeting was also aimed at opening a new chapter in regional development and security after the ceasefire was achieved. This international forum took place as a concrete step towards ending the war in Gaza, strengthening global diplomatic efforts to achieve long-term stability and marking the beginning of a new era of peace in the region.
Citing a report from AP News, the main agenda of this conference includes discussions regarding the finalization of the ceasefire and the post-conflict recovery phases. The summit also underlined the importance of reforming the Palestinian Authority so that it can take a greater role in leading the reconstruction and recovery process independently.
The choice of Sharm El-Sheikh as the location of the meeting was not without reason. This city was chosen because it had also previously been the site of the signing of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which became an important base for the continuation of the peace process in Gaza.
By holding the summit in this city, Egypt wants to underline its role as the main mediator in the Middle East peace process and demonstrate the country’s commitment to continue facilitating international dialogue and cooperation to achieve security and prosperity for the Palestinian people.
