US President Donald Trump has urged mediators to 'move fast' as key Gaza peace talks are set to begin in Egypt on Monday. The talks come after Hamas agreed to some parts of a 20-point US peace plan, including freeing hostages and handing over Gaza governance to Palestinian technocrats. However, Hamas is seeking negotiations on other issues, and Israel has continued its air strikes in Gaza despite Trump's call for a halt. The talks are expected to be crucial in determining whether a path toward ending the conflict is within reach. Trump has stated that he thinks hostages will be freed 'very soon' and that the US plan is a 'great deal' for Israel and the Arab world. Meanwhile, Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian said that while some bombings have stopped, there is no ceasefire in place.

Israel's actions were met with global protests and condemnation from world leaders, who called it a breach of international law. Meanwhile, Hamas agreed to parts of a ceasefire deal outlined by President Trump, and Israel has moved to a defensive-only position in Gaza.

Talks between Israel and Hamas are set to begin in Egypt, mediated by the US, to finalize a Gaza ceasefire deal based on President Donald Trump's 20-point proposal. The negotiations come as Israel continues its military campaign in Gaza, resulting in significant humanitarian devastation. Trump has pressured both sides to reach an agreement, warning Hamas of 'obliteration' if it refuses to cede power in Gaza. Palestinians in Gaza have expressed tempered optimism about a truce, but the situation on the ground remains dire, with thousands killed and displaced.

The Israeli military has announced it will advance readiness for the implementation of the first phase of President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, which includes the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Hamas agreed to release all Israeli hostages, dead or alive, as part of the plan. Trump stated he is 'very close' to achieving a peace deal and urged Hamas to move quickly. The plan calls for an end to Israel's military operations, disarmament of Hamas, and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip under a Palestinian governing body overseen by an international coalition led by the U.S. Israeli troops have moved into a defensive-only position inside the Gaza Strip, and Trump warned that any delay or failure to complete the deal will result in severe consequences for Hamas.

Donald Trump has urged negotiators to 'move fast' in Gaza peace talks hosted by Egypt, warning that 'massive bloodshed will follow' if progress is not made. The talks aim to secure the release of hostages and end the fighting in Gaza. Israel's strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer and Hamas's exiled Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya are leading the delegations, with US envoy Steve Witkoff also attending. Trump's 20-point peace plan includes a map showing areas of Gaza from which Israeli troops would withdraw. Hamas has agreed 'in principle' to the post-war arrangements, but disarmament and demobilisation are expected to be challenging. International support for an immediate ceasefire is growing, with the Pope and foreign ministers of eight Muslim-majority countries calling for a halt to the fighting.
