PM Modi gets invite from Trump, Sisi to attend Sharm-el Sheikh Gaza peace summit on Oct 13: Report
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly been invited by US President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to attend the “peace summit” in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday, October 13.
The last-minute invitation was given by the US and Egypt to Prime Minister Modi on Saturday, The Indian Express quoted its sources as saying.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has not yet confirmed Modi’s participation in the international summit aimed at ending the war in the Gaza Strip.
According to a statement from the Egyptian Presidential spokesperson, the summit will be jointly chaired by President Sisi and President Trump and will see participation from leaders of over 20 nations.
“The summit aims to end the war in the Gaza Strip, strengthen efforts to establish peace and stability in the Middle East, and open a new page of regional security and stability,” the statement said.
It also emphasised President Trump's "vision to achieve peace in the region and his relentless quest to end conflicts around the world."
If Prime Minister Modi accepts the invitation, it would mark a significant opportunity for India to engage more deeply in Middle East diplomacy, express solidarity with the Palestinian cause, and strengthen bilateral ties with Egypt, added the report.

Mumbai (PTI): Police on Sunday detained some Aam Aadmi Party activists in Mumbai after they staged a demonstration against Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha, who has crossed over to the BJP, in Khar area.
Aam Aadmi Party's Mumbai unit president Preeti Sharma Menon claimed the police prevented AAP workers from protesting peacefully against "traitor" Chadha and detained local leader Ruben Mascharanhas.
A Khar Police official confirmed that Mascharanhas and some other activists have been taken to the police station, without elaborating.
"@CPMumbaiPolice @mumbaipolice has no other work but to guard Raghav Chaddha’s Mumbai residence. @aapmumbai volunteers were prevented from protesting peacefully against the GADDAR. Ruben has been detained at the Khar Police Station. But BJP is allowed to block roads at their whim," Menon stated.
The AAP's Mumbai unit had planned a protest in the Khar area against Chadha and six other Rajya Sabha MPs of the party who recently joined the BJP.
"Without any detention order or any written communication, I have been taken to the Khar Police Station. Why is @MumbaiPolice so scared of @AAPMumbai's peaceful protest against 'Gaddar' Raghav Chaddha and Sandeep Pathak? We are @ArvindKejriwal's soldiers, we are not going to be cowed down," Mascharanhas said in another post.
The AAP suffered a jolt on Friday when seven of its Rajya Sabha members, including Chadha, Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak, quit the party, with Chadha saying all of them have merged with the BJP, asserting that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party had strayed from its principles, values and core morals.
