8 points summarize

Highlights of what US President Donald Trump said at the bilateral meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh:

Sisi's role in peace:

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is my friend, and I commend President el-Sisi's efforts, which have done a remarkable job. I also emphasize that we in the United States support President el-Sisi's efforts in the peace process in the region.

Egypt's efforts in the peace process:

Egypt has played and continues to play a very important role in the peace process. Indeed, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's performance in this regard has been tremendous. He has worked diligently and persistently for peace. We respect Egypt's leadership, and President el-Sisi has played a very important leadership role, and we appreciate him.

Iran:

No, but I think Iran will come to that conclusion at some point, and they need some help, and there are huge sanctions imposed on Iran, but they cannot continue with these very harsh sanctions, but at some point they will say we want to remove these sanctions, and I think that Iran will be fine in the end, and I think they want to make a deal.

Israeli hostages:

They (Hamas) are now searching for the bodies of the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, and there may be 5 or 6 bodies that will be handed over, but they are searching in different areas trying to find the rest of the bodies and hand them over.

The second phase of negotiations:

The second phase of negotiations has already begun, and all of these phases are integrated together. If you look at Gaza, there is a lot of work to be done. What is in Gaza now is rubble.

International Summit and Participants:

In the next room are the leaders of the richest countries in the world, the great leaders, the princes, the kings, they are all here, about 35 countries, and these are the countries that we invited, and you will see a lot of progress in the Middle East.

Relationship with Sisi:

We are proud of President Sisi because from the first time (during his first term) I met him, Hillary Clinton was following me, and he loved me very much, and we had a good relationship and this relationship remains strong until now.

Peace in the Middle East:

It's about peace in the Middle East and for everyone, and I think this was impossible, and now it is happening and being achieved before your eyes.
