"Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the 20-point plan are due to begin in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday. The talks, which come on the eve of the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel that led to the war, have raised hopes that the devastating conflict, which has killed tens of thousands in Gaza, could soon end. But at the same time, there are plenty of potential obstacles to sealing a deal."
"Despite the failure of several initiatives to try to end the conflict, including two brief ceasefires that collapsed, the bombardment of Gaza, which has now killed at least 67,160 people, wounded 169,679, and pushed the enclave's two million or so people towards starvation, Trump said the first phase should be completed this week. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said there had been very positive discussions with Hamas and other governments over the weekend to release the Hostages,"
Delegations from Hamas, Israel and the United States convene in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to pursue Trump's 20-point plan aimed at ending the Gaza war. Indirect negotiations start on the eve of the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks, raising hopes for a ceasefire and hostage releases while encountering many potential obstacles. Previous initiatives, including two collapsed ceasefires, have failed to halt heavy bombardment. Gaza casualties now exceed 67,160 dead and 169,679 wounded, with about two million people facing severe food shortages. Trump urges rapid progress and reports positive discussions about releasing hostages.
