British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres are set to join global leaders in Egypt for a critical peace summit aimed at formalizing a US-brokered agreement to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
Starmer's office confirmed the Prime Minister will travel to the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit on Saturday, characterizing the diplomatic moment as a "historic turning point" following two years of conflict. The UN Secretary-General's office also confirmed Guterres’s attendance.
Marking the First Phase: Hostage Release
The summit’s central focus is the implementation of the multi-phase deal. The first stage is already underway, with the release of hostages held by Hamas expected to begin by Monday.
During the summit, the British leader is slated to publicly commend the diplomatic efforts of US President Donald Trump, alongside the key mediating roles played by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey in securing the complex agreement.
