Sharm al -Sheikh, Egypt (Reuters) -In those coming from Israel and Hamas, US President Donald Trump organized his first days in Egypt on the plan to stop the war in Gaza, with the demands of Israel withdrawn and Hamas was broken.

Israel and Hamas have approved the general principles behind Trump’s plan, which is emancipated and helps to spill into Gaza.

The plan also has the support of Arab and Western states. Trump called for negotiations for a quick time to take a quick deal, where Washington’s closest parties came to end the two -year -old conflict.

Trump, who used himself as the only world leader who could reach peace in Gaza, has invested important political capital to end the war that killed tens of thousands of people and left us on the world stage.

‘Really good luck’

When the delegations came together in Egypt, he told journalists at the White House on Monday and said, “We will really make an agreement.” “We have a chance to make a deal and this will be a permanent agreement.”

However, both sides are looking for explanations of important details, including those who have removed previous initiatives from the rail to end the war and can challenge any fast solution.

Trump pushed Israel to suspend the bombing of Gaza for talks. Gaza residents, Israel’s completely stopped, although not completely, said it significantly reduced its attack.

Gaza health officials reported that 19 people killed by Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours in the last 24 hours, in the last 24 hours, as mounted one of the biggest attacks of Israel’s war in Gaza, Gaza.

Interviews to continue on Tuesday

The talks began at the Sharm El Sheikh Red Sea Facility with delegations from Egypt, the USA and Qatar.

A Palestinian official close to the negotiations said the first session ended late on Monday evening and more talks will be held on Tuesday.

The authority summarized the attitude of Hamas on the scale of the release of hostages and the withdrawal of Israel from Gaza and the timeline. The authority said that the Islamist group expressed his concerns about whether Israel will have a permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive withdrawal commitment.

Even if there were interviews that ended for the day, the sounds of the explosions caused by air strikes in Gaza and the demolition of houses could be heard and said that Israel had not stopped the bombardment.

The talks began on 7 October 2023 on the eve of the second anniversary of the Hamas attack, which triggered the war in Israel. The fighters killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, the most deadly day for the Jews since the Holocaust.

Israel’s retaliation military campaign killed more than 67,000 Palestinians and left the majority of 2.2 million Gazans homeless and hungry in a ruthless bombardment.

A high -level Israeli safety source said that negotiations will initially focus on the release of hostages and give Hamas a few days to complete this stage.

Israel will not only compromise on the drawing of troops to the yellow line in Gaza-a border for the withdrawal of the first Israel under the Trump plan. It creates a strategic buffer zone and further withdrawal will depend on the conditions of HAMAS’s meeting conditions.

War about breakthrough expectations

Gaza residents, who exploded their ways in the city of Gaza in Gaza, and flattened the neighborhoods, called their last hope.

Ise If there is an agreement, then we will survive. If not, we’ve been sentenced to death, Ghar Gharam Mohammad 20, 20, was replaced with his family in Gaza.

In Israel, although the prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet opposed any stop to fight the right -wing members, there is a oyster to end the war to bring home hostages.

Although Trump quickly said he wanted an agreement, an official about the negotiations about the condition of anonymity, an official, said he expects that the tour that started on Monday would require at least a few days.

An official about Ceasefire planning and a Palestinian source, Trump’s 72 -hour deadline for the return of hostages can not be reached for dead hostages. The remains may need to be found and recovered from scattered areas.

The Israeli delegation includes spy agencies Mossad and Shin Bet, Netanyahu’s foreign policy consultant Ophir Falk and Gal Hirsch, the coordinator of hostages. According to three Israeli officials, Israel’s Chief Negotiator Strategic Minister Ron Dermer was expected to participate this week, waiting for developments in the negotiations.

The Hamas delegation is ruled by Gaza leader Khalil Al-Hayya, who was exiled from an Israeli air strike in Doha, the capital of Qatar, a month ago.

The White House said that the US sent Steve Witkoff and the President of the President Jared Kushner.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Monday, “Both Israeli hostages and political prisoners to be released passes the lists.”

In a statement given by a source of Hamas to Reuters, Trump’s plan is likely to have a problem that Hamas was disarmed by Israel. Unless Israel finished the occupation and a Palestinian state was not created, the group insisted that it would not be disarmed.

In a statement commemorating the 7th Anniversary, the United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said Trump’s plan “offers an opportunity to seize to end this tragic conflict”.
