President Donald Trump pressed world leaders gathered at a summit on Gaza’s future to ensure the US-led truce between Israel and Hamas turns into a lasting peace, hailing the agreement as a “new beginning” for the war-torn region.

“Today, for the first time anyone can remember, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us,” Trump said in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.” “Together we’re going to forge a magnificent, great and enduring peace.”
