Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Egypt, have commenced in Sharm el-Sheikh regarding a US-proposed plan to end the Gaza war. The plan, presented by President Trump, includes a prisoner exchange for hostages and the transfer of Gaza's governance. While Hamas has agreed to key points like hostage release, it has not committed to disarmament or its future political role. Negotiators aim to finalize details this week to avert further bloodshed, with some hopeful for a swift resolution.
