Indirect talks between Israeli and Hamas negotiators began in Sharm el-Sheikh with Egyptian and Qatari mediators shuttling between the parties. White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to join the negotiations later in the week. U.S. officials reported that teams from both sides are coordinating to ensure conditions for releasing hostages and are reviewing lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners proposed for exchange. President Trump expressed optimism that a deal will be reached, said regional actors including Iran signaled support, and warned that any agreement must meet specific conditions. Officials characterized the talks as the closest to ending the two-year war since Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks.
