Israel and Hamas Arrive in Egypt for Talks on U.S. 20-Point Gaza Plan

U.S. mediators are pushing for a pause in strikes to enable swift hostage releases.

GAZA CITY (---), 05/10/2025.- Palestinians walk at Al Remal neighbourhood during an Israeli military operation in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, 05 October 2025. According to the UN around 90 percent of the population or 1.9 million people in Gaza have been displaced since the start of the conflict. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, and about 1,200 Israelis have been killed since the launch of an Israeli military campaign in response to a cross-border attack by Hamas on 07 October 2023.

Overview

  • Delegations from Israel and Hamas reached Egypt for technical negotiations set to begin Oct. 6 with U.S., Qatari and Egyptian mediation, led by Ron Dermer for Israel and Khalil Al-Hayya for Hamas.
  • Hamas has indicated willingness to accept a cease-fire, an Israeli pullback and a hostage‑for‑prisoner exchange, while Israel’s demand for Hamas disarmament remains a core sticking point.
  • A draft of the plan outlines freeing the 48 remaining captives—about 20 believed alive—within three days, Hamas relinquishing power and commencing disarmament, and an initial Israeli withdrawal to prior lines.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the war has not ended and urged Israel to halt bombing to enable releases, as Gaza hospitals reported new fatalities from continuing strikes.
  • President Donald Trump warned Hamas it faces “total annihilation” if it refuses to cede control, and the plan envisions a transitional Gaza administration overseen by Trump and former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair.
