More than two years after the devastating Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders are set to gather in Egypt on Monday to oversee the end to fighting in Gaza. 

Happening today:

— Hamas is expected to release 20 living hostages under the terms of the ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza on Friday, paving the way for the peace deal.

— Trump is due to stop in Israel, where he’ll meet with the families of Israeli hostages and address the Israeli Knesset.

— Trump and his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, will chair a peace summit in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh where a deal ending the war will be signed, though neither Israel or Hamas is expected to attend.

— European leaders — including France’s Emmanuel Macron, the U.K.’s Keir Starmer, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Spain’s Pedro Sánchez, along with Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan — will be present for the deal.
