Israeli and Hamas officials are holding indirect talks in an Egyptian resort on a U.S. peace plan for Gaza. The discussions Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh focus on a ceasefire's first stage, including a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces and the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to join. The peace effort follows Hamas accepting some elements of the U.S. plan, a move welcomed by Trump. Israel has expressed support for the new U.S. initiative.
