Israeli and Hamas negotiators are expected to begin technical talks in Egypt to implement the first phases of a U.S.-backed deal focused on a hostage-prisoner exchange. Key outstanding issues center on the scope of the initial Israeli withdrawal and the specific names of Palestinian prisoners to be released. U.S. officials say roughly 90% of the work is complete and that the Cairo meetings will focus on logistics: who will enter, timing, and release procedures. U.S. envoys and aides, including a White House envoy and Jared Kushner, are expected to join. Officials emphasize urgency, warning delays could imperil the deal.
