Israel and Hamas are beginning indirect negotiations in Egypt on the Peace Plan of Trump Gaza

Indirect conversations aimed at reaching a final US peace plan agreement to end the Gaza War, began in the Egyptian city of Sharm El-Sheikh.

The Palestinian and Egyptian officials told the BBC that sessions are focused on the “creation of field conditions” for a possible exchange that will see the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners.

Hamas said he agreed in part to the peace plan’s proposals, but did not respond to several key demands – including her disarmament and a future role in Gaza.

Israel’s Prime Minister said on Saturday that he hoped to announce the hostage release “in the coming days”.

In the conversations that the Egyptian and Cathars officials holding up with delegations with delegations from both Israel and Hamas will come on the eve of the second anniversary of the attack, led by Hamas against South Israel on October 7, 202, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 people were killed and 251

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response. Since then, 67,160 have been killed by Israeli military operations in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the territory.

These discussions are expected to be among the most consistent since the beginning of the war and could determine whether the way to end the conflict is at the end.

The US Special Envoy Steve Vikof, Trump’s Zeth Jared Jared Kushner and Catari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al -Thani are among those present.

Donald Trump, writing on social media, called on everyone involved in the efforts to end the Gaza War to “move” quickly and says that he was told the first phase of the peace plan – which involves the release of hostages – “must be completed this week”.

The 20 -point plan, which was agreed by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, proposes an immediate termination of the fight and the release of 48 hostages, only 20 of which are thought to be alive, in exchange for hundreds of detainees.

The plan stipulates that after both parties agree to the proposal “Full help will be sent immediately to the Gaza tape”.

It also states that Hamas will not play a role in the management of the gas and leaves the door open to a possible Palestinian state.

However, after the plan was publicly announced a week ago, Netanyahu restored its long -standing opposition to the Palestinian state, saying in a video statement: “This is not written in the agreement. We said that we will strongly oppose the Palestinian state.”

Friday, Hamas responded to the proposal In a statement in which the group I agreed to “release all Israeli prisoners, both alive and dead, according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump’s proposal” – if the appropriate conditions for the exchanges were met.

He did not mention specifically or accepted Trump’s plan with 20 points, but said he “renewed his consent to hand over the administration of the Gaza Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Body of Independent (Technocrats), based on the Palestinian National Consensus and Arabic and Islamic Support.”

The statement does not mention one of the key demands of the plan – Hamas to agree to its disarmament and not to play a more role in the management of Gaza.

He added that the part of the proposals dealing with the future of gas and the rights of the Palestinian people is still discussed “within a national framework”, which says Hamas would be a part.

Many Palestinians described Hamas’s answer to the peace plan as unexpected, after days of indications that the group is preparing to reject, or at least a strong condition that it accepts Trump’s proposal for the peace plan.

Instead, Hamas refrained from the inclusion of his traditional “red lines” in the official statement, a move that many interpret as a sign of external pressure.

European and Middle Eastern leaders welcomed the proposal. The Palestinian Administration (PA), which runs parts of Israel’s occupied West Coast, called the efforts of US President “sincere and decisive”.

Iran – who has been one of Hamas’s main sponsors for many years – now signals his support for Trump Gaza’s peace plan.

The Israeli bombing continued in several parts of the Gaza Strip on Monday before the negotiations began.

Israel is making an offensive in the city, which is said to be aimed at ensuring the release of other hostages.

Mahmoud Bazal, a spokesman for Hamas’s civil defense in Gaza, told the BBC that “no trucks had been admitted for help in Gaza, as the offensive began four weeks ago.”

“There are still bodies that we cannot extract from areas under Israeli control,” he said.

Hundreds of thousands of Gaza city were forced to escape after the Israeli military ordered the evacuation in a particular “humanitarian area” to the south, but it is believed that hundreds of thousands more remained.

Israel’s Defense Minister has warned that those who remain during the offensive will be “terrorists and supporters of terror.”

In the last 24 hours, 21 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and another 96 were injured, Hamas Health Ministry said in his last update.

International journalists were banned from Israel from entering the Gaza Strip, regardless of the beginning of the war, making it difficult for claims from both sides.
