US EditionTrump Says 'Good Chance' Of Hostage Deal With Hamas 'During The Week'
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 6 – Indirect talks in Qatar focus on a 60-day truce and hostage exchange as mediators seek to ease Gaza's humanitarian crisis amid ongoing conflict, officials said.
- President Donald Trump indicated that there is a strong possibility that Israel and Hamas could finalize a deal this week involving the release of hostages from Gaza and a 60-day ceasefire.
- This follows Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel that killed about 1,200 people and abducted 251 hostages, prompting a full-scale Israeli war in Gaza.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington for his third meeting with Trump to advance the US-backed ceasefire plan involving partial hostage release and increased Gaza aid.
- The ceasefire plan proposes the phased release of 10 captives still alive along with the remains of 18 who have died, in return for Palestinians detained by Israel, while negotiations between Israeli representatives and Hamas in Qatar have so far failed to produce any agreement.
- If finalized, the deal could ease Gaza’s humanitarian crisis and move toward ending the war, although significant gaps remain as negotiations continue amid high tension.
