Neither I nor any of my officials received an invitation to attend the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt on 13 October 2025.

I welcome the agreement reached to bring about a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the release of hostages and prisoners back to their loved ones and the beginning of the delivery of much needed humanitarian aid into Gaza after two years of unimaginable suffering.

I commend the efforts of the US, as well as Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, to secure this agreement.

While work continues on the next phases of the peace plan, it is important to remain focused on preserving the ceasefire and ensuring that a surge of humanitarian aid reaches the people of Gaza. Ireland is playing its part and has pledged an additional €6 million in humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza to fund urgent food, medical care and other vital services.
