* summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh: A summit was held in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, too discuss ending the Israel-Hamas war and achieving long-term regional peace.Over 20 world leaders attended, but neither Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor Hamas leadership were present.
* Unexpected Dialog: Due to a delay in Donald Trump’s arrival, leaders were unexpectedly left to engage in unscripted conversations about postwar Gaza.
* Key Discussions: Discussions centered on the future of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, a potential stabilization force for Gaza (perhaps led by Indonesia), and Canada’s role in training a future Palestinian security force (providing intelligence, but not troops).
* Canada’s Role: Canada has pledged over $400 million in humanitarian aid and is exploring ways to increase it. They are also working with partners to coordinate international recovery and reconstruction efforts, anticipating funding from Gulf states.
* Focus on Reconstruction: A critically importent part of the discussion revolved around coordinating the international response for recovery and reconstruction in Gaza.
