A whirlwind diplomatic trip will take U.S. President Donald Trump from Washington, D.C. to Israel and then to Egypt this weekend. The trip is part of a new ceasefire deal and a Gaza peace plan that Trump announced earlier this month.
Trump leaves the White House on Sunday afternoon and flies into Tel Aviv by Monday morning. His first stop is the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. There he will speak to lawmakers and meet privately with families of hostages held by Hamas. That closed‑press meeting is a key moment of the visit, showing how important Washington sees its ties to Jerusalem.
After the Knesset session, the president heads to Sharm el‑Sheikh in Egypt for a signing ceremony. The ceremony is the centerpiece of the trip, where Trump is expected to sign a ceasefire and other agreements that were part of his 21‑point Gaza peace plan. The details of the deal are not yet public, but the event symbolizes a new chapter in Middle East diplomacy.
The whole trip is packed. Trump will spend less than seven hours inside Israel before flying to Egypt. He will stay in Sharm el‑Sheikh for about three hours before heading back to Washington. He is expected to arrive back at the White House just after midnight on Tuesday.
This visit follows the first phase of the Israel‑Gaza deal, during which 200 U.S. troops were reported to set up a coordination centre in the region. The move highlights Washington’s commitment to a lasting peace in the Middle East.
While officials haven’t announced who will attend the Sharm el‑Sheikh ceremony or what exact accords will be signed, the trip underscores the urgency in the U.S., Israel, and Egypt to reach a comprehensive agreement. Trump’s engagement comes a few months after his visit to Gulf states earlier this year, signaling a continued push for stability in the region.
