U.S. President Donald Trump attended a major summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on October 13, 2025, where he highlighted the recent Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump called it ‘a new and beautiful day’ and said the agreement opens the door to rebuilding efforts in the region. The ceasefire saw Hamas release the last Israeli hostages and Israel freeing Palestinian detainees, marking a key step toward peace. Trump co-chaired the summit with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, meeting with over 20 world leaders to discuss stability and reconstruction. He also offered condolences for three Qatar Amiri Diwan employees who died in a car crash near the resort.

The boycott calls were given by Palestinian groups after Israel attacked Gaza following the October 7th Hamas attacks on the country, in which hundreds of Israeli civilians lost their lives. Calls to boycott brands which are seen as supportive of Israel have been gaining ground. Dominoes, Starbucks, and Burger King are some of the other brands which have reported the adverse impact of the call on sales. Watch.
