Israel and Hamas Set for Indirect Cairo Talks on U.S. Plan as Trump Warns of ‘No Delay’

The negotiations will test a U.S.-devised ceasefire‑for‑hostages formula despite ongoing strikes.

Overview

  • Egypt’s Al‑Qahera News reports indirect talks on Sunday and Monday in Cairo focused on implementing the U.S. plan for a ceasefire and a rapid hostage‑prisoner exchange.
  • The White House says emissary Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected in Egypt to support the discussions and help finalize operational details.
  • Hamas said it is ready for immediate negotiations under the U.S. proposal after signaling acceptance in principle, while avoiding a formal commitment on disarmament.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israeli negotiators to Egypt, voiced hope that all captives could return in the coming days, and vowed Hamas disarmament via the plan or by force.
  • President Trump pressed for swift action, highlighting a 72‑hour timeline for returning all hostages after acceptance and stating Israel agreed to an initial withdrawal line pending Hamas confirmation, as Israeli strikes continued with Gaza authorities reporting dozens killed on Saturday.
