Israel and Hamas Open Indirect Talks in Egypt on Hostages and Gaza Cease-Fire

A U.S. 20-point plan envisions freeing the remaining 48 hostages within days to unlock an immediate pause.

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

  • An Israeli delegation led by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer is heading to Sharm el-Sheikh as Hamas negotiator Jalil al-Hayya arrives, with Egypt and Qatar facilitating.
  • Washington dispatched envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called this the closest yet to freeing all captives, and President Donald Trump warned Hamas of 'total annihilation' if it refuses to cede control.
  • The draft framework foresees a hostage-for-prisoner exchange within roughly 72 hours, an initial Israeli pullback to a defined line, and talks on a transitional administration for Gaza.
  • Key unresolved issues include Hamas disarmament, the scope and timing of Israeli withdrawal, and future governance of Gaza, raising risks to any agreement.
  • Israeli strikes continued despite U.S. calls for a pause, with Gaza health authorities reporting new fatalities and a cumulative death toll exceeding 67,000.
