During the summit, the Egyptian President emphasized that “we have a unique, perhaps last, historic opportunity to achieve a Middle East free of all that threatens its stability and progress… a Middle East where all its peoples enjoy peace and decent living within secure borders, with protected rights… a Middle East resilient against terrorism and extremism.” Trump described the agreement as “historic,” congratulating the attendees by saying “Finally, we have peace in the Middle East,” and expressing gratitude to all Arab and Islamic countries that worked towards this agreement.
