The Sharm el-Sheikh ⁣Declaration

The joint statement,​ signed by U.S.‌ President‍ Donald Trump, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim​ bin Hamad​ Al Thani, Turkish President recep Tayyip ​Erdogan, and Egyptian⁣ President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, acknowledges the implementation of the “Trump Peace Agreement”⁤ and ‍its role ​in ⁤ending over two years of conflict as reported by al​ Jazeera. Notably, the proclamation avoids directly blaming⁤ Palestinians ⁤for the conflict, a departure from previous U.S. administrations.

The statement reframes​ the situation in Gaza as ⁤part⁤ of the larger Palestinian issue. ‌Previously, the Trump administration had refrained​ from even identifying Gaza residents as Palestinian according to Al jazeera. However, the ​declaration stops short of⁢ explicitly recognizing the Palestinian right to statehood and self-determination ⁢ as discussed in Al Jazeera.

Neither Palestine ‌nor⁤ Israel were‍ directly involved in the signing of the proclamation, despite ‍being central to ⁤its subject matter.
