The U.S. State Department marked the first anniversary of the Gaza Peace Summit, which took place on October 13, 2025, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. Leaders at the summit endorsed a plan to end the war in Gaza. The State Department stated that a durable ceasefire, the return of hostages (both living and deceased), the establishment of the Board of Peace, a Palestinian technocratic administration, and a costed recovery plan have been achieved. Tommy Pigott, the State Department spokesman, said that humanitarian assistance has increased and Hamas's theft of aid has dwindled. He added that these achievements represent only the beginning. The summit was attended by Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who signed a declaration supporting a ceasefire and hostage release. Hamas released 20 Israeli hostages earlier that day. The Trump administration's peace plan, announced in January, includes Hamas's disarmament, Gaza's reconstruction, and the establishment of a transitional Palestinian administration. The administration established the Board of Peace to oversee Gaza's reconstruction and transition to civilian governance. The board has proposed steps toward demilitarization, though disagreements persist regarding the timetable and conditions for Hamas's disarmament. Pigott stated that rebuilding Gaza will be difficult but that progress is being made toward a demilitarized Gaza where Palestinians can live without Hamas rule and Israel can have security. ## Disagreements on coverage The Jewish News Syndicate reported that the State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott stated that Hamas theft of aid has dwindled. None of the other reports mention this specific claim. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated reports or digests mention the European Union's commitment of approximately $1 billion for early recovery in Gaza, a detail that was included in the centre-rated report and the verified claims. ## Who covered it Shares of the 12 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 17% (2) - Centre: 25% (3) - Right: 58% (7) 7 of 19 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Most recently checked 2026-10-14T19:15:26.771Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - The centre-rated report from Hola News led on the U.S. government assuming a "durable" ceasefire in Gaza for the anniversary of its peace plan. The digest stated that the plan, signed in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, a year prior, allowed for this ceasefire as part of "outstanding achievements" attributed to it. ### Right - The right-rated reports from Jewish News Syndicate, Fox News, WWBL, nytimespost.com, wfmd.com, and democraticaccent.com all led on the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's Gaza Peace Summit and his peace plan. The Jewish News Syndicate and Fox News, which provided full reports, highlighted statements from State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott and Board of Peace advisor Josh Gruenbaum, respectively. These reports detailed achievements such as a durable ceasefire, hostage returns, the establishment of the Board of Peace, and a Palestinian technocratic administration. The digests from WWBL, nytimespost.com, wfmd.com, and democraticaccent.com also focused on the anniversary and the global backing for Trump's plan, with some referencing commentary from figures like Jack Keane. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
