Egypt’s foreign minister hails President Trump as guarantor of the Gaza peace plan as major Muslim nations endorse his proposal.
Cairo: “Trump Himself Is the Guarantor of Gaza Peace”
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has declared that US President Donald Trump is the “first and foremost guarantor” of the peace plan aimed at ending the Gaza war, underscoring Cairo’s confidence in the American-led diplomatic initiative.
In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, Abdelatty emphasized that the success of the Trump plan — which includes a ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages, and the disarmament of Hamas — rests squarely on the US President’s leadership.
“The first guarantor for the implementation of the US President’s plan to end the war in Gaza is President Trump himself,” Abdelatty said, praising Washington’s “determined and direct engagement” in bringing both Israel and Hamas to the negotiating table.
Arab and Muslim States Unite Behind Trump Plan
In a landmark move, the foreign ministers of eight key Muslim nations — Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey — issued a joint statement Saturday affirming their collective support for Trump’s peace framework.
The ministers pledged to “support efforts aimed at implementing the provisions of President Trump’s proposal, to work to end the war in Gaza immediately, and to reach a comprehensive agreement.”
Diplomatic sources in Riyadh described the coordination as “unprecedented,” noting that this is the first time since the start of the Gaza conflict that major Sunni and non-Arab states have jointly endorsed a US-led initiative for peace.
Regional Impact: A Turning Point for Middle East Diplomacy
Analysts view the statement as a major breakthrough in Arab consensus around Trump’s peace architecture, which envisions:
- A complete release of Israeli hostages,
- Phased Israeli withdrawal under international monitoring,
- Demilitarization of Gaza, and
- Arab reconstruction oversight led by Egypt and the Gulf states.
This coordinated Arab support represents a stark contrast to past divisions over Western-led peace efforts and may pave the way for an historic normalization framework between Israel and additional Arab states once the deal is finalized.
Israeli officials privately hailed the statement as a “strategic realignment of the Arab world against Iranian influence and Hamas terrorism.”
Analysis: Trump at the Center of a New Middle East Order
By serving as both architect and guarantor, President Trump has positioned the United States as the decisive broker in reshaping the post-war Gaza landscape.
A senior Egyptian diplomat told Arutz Sheva:
“For the first time in years, we see Arab unity behind an American president’s peace plan. Trump’s name alone commands action — not rhetoric.”
Observers note that while Hamas has yet to formally ratify the deal, Arab diplomatic momentum is clearly shifting toward Trump’s leadership, signaling to Gaza’s rulers that delay will only invite renewed isolation — and possibly, destruction.
