  • Negotiators are discussing the “ground conditions” to implement Trump’s plan for Gaza

CAIRO: Negotiators from Israel and Hamas began indirect discussions in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh on Monday for a hostage-prisoner exchange and Gaza ceasefire, Egyptian state-linked media reported.
Al-Qahera News, which is linked to state intelligence, said the delegations “are discussing preparing ground conditions for the release of detainees and prisoners,” in line with a proposal from US President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza.
“Egyptian and Qatari mediators are working with both sides to establish a mechanism” for the exchange, they added.
