CAIRO (Reuters) -Three Qatari diplomats were killed in a car crash in Egypt's Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, two security sources told Reuters on Sunday.

Two diplomats were also wounded, the security sources said.

It's unclear if the diplomats were members of Qatar's negotiating team, which along with Egyptian officials in Sharm el-Sheikh helped yield earlier this week an agreement between Israel and Hamas on the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza.

The Egyptian city is set to host on Monday a global summit aimed at finalizing an agreement aimed at ending the war in Gaza.
