President Donald Trump announced that he will travel to Egypt and Israel on Sunday evening for a one-day visit to the Middle East to celebrate the implementation of the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, which will mark a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of dozens of hostages, according to The Hill.
Speaking to reporters, Trump confirmed that his itinerary includes a stop in Cairo and a speech at the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.
He added that several world leaders are expected to attend the summit.
The president is scheduled to depart Sunday evening, spend Monday in the region, and return to Washington, D.C., later that night.
Trump also noted his intention to attend a White House ceremony on Tuesday honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, The Hill reported.
The Trump administration, alongside other mediators, helped broker the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas this week, in what could bring an end to a two-year-long war.
