Israel and Hamas are preparing for indirect negotiations in Egypt on Monday, raising hopes for a possible ceasefire in Gaza. The talks come nearly two years after the Hamas attack that sparked the ongoing conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that a hostage release could be announced this week. President Trump is pressing both sides to end the fighting, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying the situation is closer than ever to a ceasefire. An Egyptian official confirmed the Hamas delegation has arrived in Egypt, with Israel’s team expected Monday. Despite the upcoming negotiations, strikes in Gaza continue even as Trump urges Israel to halt bombing.
