Indirect ceasefire talks with Hamas and Israeli representatives began in Egypt on Monday in the Red Sea city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
The talks come after Hamas responded positively to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for peace in Gaza, though the group said more negotiations will be needed before a full agreement can be signed. Hamas said it will release all remaining hostages if Israel withdraws from Gaza and “proper field conditions are met.”
Intense and deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza City — the largest urban area in the Gaza Strip — and elsewhere in the devastated Palestinian territory have continued alongside the negotiations.

I may go there sometime toward the end of the week. Maybe on Sunday, actually, and we’ll see,” Trump said.

The president said he was late to a roundtable meeting because he said he was on a phone call with “people from the Middle East, Arab people and other people on the potential peace deal for the Middle East.”
