This declaration, signed at a brief summit in Sharm el-Sheikh last night, commits the guarantor countries to implementing the peace deal and ensuring security and opportunity for both Palestinians and Israelis.<\/p>\n
It says that Mr Trump\u2019s peace deal opens a new chapter for the region defined by hope, security, and a shared vision for peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n
It acknowledges that “the Middle East cannot endure a persistent cycle of prolonged warfare” and that “the tragedies witnessed over the past two years must serve as an urgent reminder”.<\/p>\n
