Trump and Sisi to Lead Egypt Summit Monday as Hostage Releases Set to Start

Mediators still lack a final plan for the exchanges central to the US proposal.

Overview

  • Egypt confirmed a Monday summit in Sharm el-Sheikh led by President Trump and President Sisi with leaders from more than 20 countries, including the UN and several European heads of government.
  • Hamas told AFP the release of remaining hostages will begin Monday morning under Red Cross facilitation, with handover logistics still being arranged.
  • Israel has agreed to free nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners after the hostages are released, with the exact list still under negotiation, according to Hamas officials.
  • Hamas said it will not take part in the official signing and will engage through Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries.
  • A ceasefire that took effect Friday remains in place, with Israeli forces reported to have pulled back from several areas as part of the arrangement.
