Trump Warns of 'Massive Bloodshed' as Israel, Hamas Head for Talks in Sharm El-Sheikh - The Statesman
The talks aim to secure a ceasefire, release 48 hostages within three days, and implement a US-backed peace plan to end the nearly two-year Gaza conflict.
- On Monday, a high-level Israeli delegation led by Ron Dermer departed for talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s instructions for indirect negotiations with Hamas.
- The talks are driven by a US 20-point peace plan calling for an immediate ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal, hostage-prisoner exchanges and Hamas disarmament to end the nearly 24-month war.
- Under the proposal Hamas would free the remaining 48 hostages, about 20 believed alive, within three days, while Israel would release 1,950 Palestinian prisoners including 250 serving life terms, and Hamas would surrender weapons under international oversight.
- Netanyahu said he hopes to announce hostages' release in the coming days, while Trump said the first phase should finish this week amid warnings that "There is no ceasefire, but there is a change in the operational situation," Zamir said.
- International mediators face key disputes over Hamas disarmament, Gaza governance, and Israel's control of strategic zones as over 67,000 Palestinians have been killed.
