Sharm el-Sheikh Talks Continue Under Trump Plan as Mediators Pursue Hostage Deal

Secrecy prevails as negotiators focus first on a potential hostage-for-prisoner exchange.

Zwei Jahre nach dem Massaker islamistischer Terroristen in Israel wächst die Hoffnung auf eine Waffenruhe im Gazastreifen.

Overview

  • Delegations from Israel and Hamas are meeting indirectly in Sharm el-Sheikh with Egypt, Qatar and the United States mediating, after a first round described by regional media as held in a positive atmosphere.
  • The Trump 20-point framework guides the process, prioritizing a ceasefire tied to a hostage-for-prisoner swap, with reports of 48 hostages remaining and Israeli sources saying roughly 20 are alive.
  • Key gaps persist over which Palestinian prisoners would be freed—reportedly including the disputed name Marwan Barghouti—along with Hamas disarmament terms and guarantees for an Israeli troop withdrawal.
  • President Trump says “enormous progress” has been made, while Qatar cautions that core aspects still need agreement and Egyptian outlets indicate sessions could run through October 10.
  • Hostilities and humanitarian strain continue in Gaza during the talks, with Arab media reporting new fatalities, as the UN and Germany signal readiness to scale aid and support post-ceasefire stabilization.
