MOSCOW, October 14. /TASS/. A Gaza peace summit took place in Egypt, the EU supports supplying Tomahawks to Ukraine, and NATO is conducting large-scale military drills. These stories topped Tuesday's headlines across Russia.
A "peace summit" took place in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh on October 13 following the official conclusion of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip between Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas, which entered into force on October 10. Alongside US President Donald Trump, the architect of the deal, and mediators represented by the leaders of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, the meeting was attended by delegates from most Arab nations as well as Germany, the UK, France, Italy, and Spain. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to take part in the event because of the upcoming Simchat Torah Jewish holiday, his office stated. Post-Soviet countries were represented in Egypt only by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
A few hours before the gathering, Hamas transferred to Israel all 20 living hostages through Red Cross intermediaries. After that, Israel pledged to release around 2,000 Palestinians from its prisons.
