The Cairo Summit in 2018 sought to address the Gaza conflict, following the devastating 2014 Gaza War that claimed over 2,200 Palestinian lives. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi facilitated discussions with leaders like Donald Trump, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's absence underscored ongoing tensions.
