Palestinians in Gaza were torn between skepticism and hope for results from a summit held in Egypt to support ending the more than two-year Israel-Hamas war.

On the verge of tears, 85-year-old Aisha Mohamad bin Sultan, stressed that all she wants is to return to a habitable home.

"People are oppressed by hardship," said the displaced Palestinian from northern Gaza, describing a harrowing account of hunger and lack of shelter.

President Donald Trump called for a new era of harmony in the Middle East on Monday during a global summit on Gaza’s future, trying to advance broader peace in the region after visiting Israel to celebrate a U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Hamas.

The whirlwind trip, which included the summit in Egypt and a speech at the Knesset in Jerusalem earlier in the day, comes at a fragile moment of hope for ending two years of war between Israel and Hamas.

Nearly three dozen countries, including some from Europe and the Middle East, were represented at the summit.

Mohamad Abu Hajras, another displaced Palestinian in the Gaza Strip, said he hoped the summit would be a "goodwill gesture" that would help "devastated" Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Yusra Sultan, also displaced, was skeptical about the talks. "We've stopped seeing any credibility in anything (of the sort) that happens because they've made promises to us in the past a lot, but no one has done a thing."

While major questions remain about the future of Hamas and Gaza, the exchange of hostages and prisoners marked a key step toward ending the deadliest war ever between Israel and the militant group.
