In Egypt, three Qatari diplomats were killed in a car crash yesterday while heading to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, health officials said. Two other diplomats were injured when their vehicle overturned. The diplomats, who were from the Qatari protocol team, were travelling to the city ahead of a high-level summit celebrating a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Qatar mediated the ceasefire along with Egypt and the US. Turkey also joined the negotiations earlier this month in Egypt.
Sharm el-Sheikh will host the summit to be co-chaired by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt and U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency. More than two dozen world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, will attend the summit.
