Trump says talks with Hamas have been ‘very successful, and proceeding rapidly’

Delegations from Israel and Hamas began indirect negotiations in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday to seek a ceasefire in the nearly two-year Gaza conflict.
This round of talks follows mutual endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan and the original October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that escalated the war.
The first phase aims to exchange the remaining 47 or 48 hostages held by Hamas for over 1,700 Palestinian detainees from Israeli custody, alongside a temporary truce.
Officials caution that major disputes persist, especially regarding Hamas's disarmament and questions over Gaza's future governance, with one Hamas official noting recovery of some hostages' bodies could take 'days or weeks.'
Most initial terms are agreed, but the process remains uncertain as deadly Israeli airstrikes continue and final arrangements still require further detailed negotiations.
