Sisi Praises Trump’s Role in Gaza Ceasefire, Calls It a Historic Breakthrough

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi held a phone call on Thursday with US President Donald Trump, congratulating him on the success of his efforts to broker a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. The President expressed his deep appreciation for Trump’s leadership, describing the achievement as historic and a turning point in the region’s path toward peace.

President Sisi praised the US President for his determined and sincere pursuit of ending the war in Gaza, acknowledging the personal commitment Trump demonstrated throughout the negotiations. He emphasized that the eyes of the world had turned toward Egypt in recent days as it hosted the high-stakes talks in Sharm El-Sheikh, which ultimately led to the agreement.

Sisi stressed that this outcome would not have been possible without Trump’s unwavering focus on peace.

The President described the ceasefire as an achievement of significant diplomatic weight, and one that rightfully positions President Trump as a deserving candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. He noted that this agreement, after more than two years of violence and humanitarian crisis, serves not only as a political victory but as a moment of hope for the region.

During the call, Sisi affirmed the importance of moving forward with the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement in all its phases. He called for continued American support to ensure the success and sustainability of the deal, including oversight and diplomatic backing in the coming weeks.

In recognition of this historic moment, he also extended an official invitation to President Trump to attend a celebration in Egypt marking the signing of the ceasefire agreement. The event, to be hosted in Cairo, will serve as a symbol of the collaborative efforts between Egypt, the United States, and other mediators who contributed to halting the conflict in Gaza. President Trump warmly welcomed the invitation, expressing his admiration for Egypt and his eagerness to participate in the event.

In a separate statement, President Trump described the upcoming release of hostages as part of the agreement as a “day of joy,” and confirmed that he intends to travel to Egypt to attend the official signing ceremony. He noted that preparations for the visit are already underway and emphasized that the ceasefire agreement marks a victory for diplomacy, peace, and international cooperation.
