President Donald Trump signed a historic peace agreement in Egypt alongside numerous world leaders.
Those present at the summit included leaders from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and other countries.
“This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it? And it’s going to hold up too. It’s going to hold up,” Trump said.
“This is the day that people across this region and around the world have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for,” he stated upon signing the agreement. “They have done things over the last month that I think were really unthinkable. Nobody thought this could happen. With the historic agreement we have just signed, those prayers of millions have finally been answered. As you know the hostages have been returned.”
“Together, we have achieved what everybody said was impossible. At long last, we have peace in the Middle East,” he declared. “We’ve heard it for many years, but nobody thought it could ever get there. And now we’re there.”
President Trump also received Egypt’s highest state honor, the Order of the Nile. “I’m deeply honored to receive from you Egypt’s highest state honor, the Order of the Nile,” he said.
Mediators will begin working on phase two of the 20-point plan.
“Well, it started. I mean, it started as far as we’re concerned,” Trump announced while sitting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. “Phase two has started. And, you know, the phases are all a little bit mixed in with each other. You’re gonna start cleaning up. You look at Gaza it needs a lot of clean-up.”
