U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to visit Egypt and Israel during a one-day trip to the Middle East early next week to mark the implementation of a peace agreement that will see a pause in fighting in Gaza and the release of dozens of hostages.

Trump told reporters he will visit Cairo while in Egypt, and he plans to speak at the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.

He indicated many other world leaders would be in attendance.

The U.S. leader is expected to depart Sunday evening, spend Monday in the Middle East then fly back to Washington, D.C.

 Axios reported the meeting on Gaza may take place in Sharm El Sheikh on October 13 or 14.
