CAIRO: Qatar鈥檚 prime minister and senior delegates from the United States and Turkiye will join Hamas and Israeli negotiators on Wednesday for a third day of talks aimed at ending the Gaza war.
Israel and Hamas are holding indirect negotiations in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh, based on a 20-point plan proposed by US President Donald Trump last month.
Qatar鈥檚 Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Turkiye鈥檚 intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, Trump鈥檚 special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are all due to attend the talks.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a real chance that we could do something,鈥� Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, adding that US negotiators were also involved in the talks.
鈥淚 think there鈥檚 a possibility that we could have peace in the Middle East. It鈥檚 something even beyond the Gaza situation. We want a release of the hostages immediately.鈥�
Trump said the United States would do 鈥渆verything possible to make sure everyone adheres to the deal鈥� if Hamas and Israel do agree on a ceasefire.
The talks came as Israel commemorated the second anniversary of Hamas鈥檚 October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war.
At the close of the Jewish festival of Sukkot, Hamas-led militants launched the deadliest attack on Israel in the country鈥檚 history, sparking a huge retaliatory offensive in Gaza.
It resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
Militants also took 251 people hostage into Gaza, of whom 47 remain captive, including 25 the Israeli military says are dead.
Global pressure to end the war has escalated, with much of Gaza flattened, a UN-declared famine unfolding and Israeli hostage families still longing for their loved ones鈥� return.
A UN probe accused last month Israel of genocide in Gaza while rights groups have accused Hamas of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during the October 7 attack. Both sides reject the allegations.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters joined pro-Palestinian mass demonstrations in cities across the world last weekend, calling for an immediate end to the war, including in Italy, Spain, Ireland and Britain.
Demonstrators in the Netherlands called for their government to recognize a Palestinian state, while tens of thousands in Britain defied Prime Minister Keir Starmer鈥檚 calls to skip rallies, holding vigils and gatherings on the October 7 anniversary.

Hamas鈥檚 top negotiator, Khalil Al-Hayya, said the Islamist group wants 鈥済uarantees from President Trump and the sponsor countries that the war will end once and for all.鈥�
Trump鈥檚 plan calls for a ceasefire, the release of all the hostages, Hamas鈥檚 disarmament and a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
The plan received positive responses from both Israel and Hamas and prompted indirect talks in Egypt since Monday.
A Palestinian source close to the Hamas negotiating team said Tuesday鈥檚 session included Hamas discussing 鈥渢he initial maps presented by the Israeli side regarding the withdrawal of troops as well as the mechanism and timetable for the hostage-prisoner exchange.鈥�
US representatives Witkoff and Kushner were expected to arrive in Egypt on Wednesday, according to Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, after they were initially expected to arrive last weekend.
鈥淭he primary guarantee of success at this stage is US President Trump himself... even if it comes to a point to require him imposing a vision,鈥� he said.
Israel鈥檚 military campaign in Gaza has killed at least 67,160 people, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, figures the United Nations considers credible.
The data does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but indicates that over half of the dead are women and children.

Prisoner exchange 

Senior Hamas official Taher Al-Nounou said on Wednesday that negotiators from his group and Israel have exchanged lists of prisoners and hostages who would be released should a deal be reached during the ongoing Gaza ceasefire talks in Egypt.
Al-Nounou also said Hamas expressed optimism about reaching a deal, stating that the group has demonstrated the necessary positivity.
