Egypt is stepping into the spotlight as it prepares to host high-stakes talks between Israeli and Hamas delegations on Monday. The discussions aim to finalize details for a hostage-prisoner exchange under a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal, potentially ending two years of conflict in Gaza. 🌍
🇪🇬 The Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated the meetings will address 'field conditions' for releasing all Israeli detainees and Palestinian prisoners, calling it a critical step to 'end the suffering' of Palestinians. U.S. President Donald Trump amplified the urgency on Truth Social, declaring: 'Hamas must move quickly… Let’s get this done, FAST.' ⏳
Key developments:
Israel has paused bombing in Gaza to allow negotiations
Trump claims Israel agreed to an initial withdrawal line
U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are en route to Egypt
If Hamas accepts the terms, a ceasefire could take effect immediately, kickstarting the exchange and setting the stage for further peace efforts. But with tensions high, the world is watching: Will this be the breakthrough Gaza needs? 🤝
