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

Indirect talks mediated by the U.S. aim to end the nearly two-year Gaza war with a phased ceasefire and hostage release under Trump's 20-point plan, with about 20 hostages believed alive.

  • On Oct 6, 2025, President Donald Trump said `I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST.` as talks began in Sharm el‑Sheikh.
  • President Trump’s 20‑point roadmap aims to end the Gaza war and secure the release of all 48 remaining hostages within 72 hours after a ceasefire is finalised.
  • Negotiators say the first phase is technical, focusing on exchanging 48 remaining hostages for Palestinian prisoners, with Israel discussing freeing 250 prisoners and 1,700 detainees.
  • Markets reacted as negotiators met in Egypt, with the shekel hitting a three-year high and Tel Aviv stocks reaching record levels despite Israeli airstrikes continuing.
  • More than 67,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and displacement is vast as more than two million have fled their homes.
