The American envoy Steve Whitchv and the Arab negotiators will hold talks with Israel and Hamas in Cairo on Monday in an attempt to get rid of the details of Donald Trump’s plan to end a two -year war in Gaza and secure the launch of Israeli hostages.

US President Hamas warned against “moving quickly” after Israel said to return the forces to the “initial line” behind its front lines in Gaza on Saturday. This step is part of the first stage of the deal, which is also scheduled to include the announcement of the ceasefire and the release of the hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who sent Ron Dimer, one of the relatives of his lieutenant, said to the talks in Cairo – that he hopes that he will be able to announce the hostages in the “coming days”.

Witkev will be accompanied by talks in Cairo in Cairo Jared Kushner, Trump’s son -in -law, who served as the President’s envoy in the Middle East during his first term and played a growing role in drafting the Gaza plan in recent months.

Qatar and Egypt are the main Arab mediators. Türkiye, which is hosting Qatar’s political figures, has become more involved.

The new momentum was injected into diplomatic efforts to end the war-which killed tens of thousands of people, destroyed Gaza and sparked a wave of regional conflict-after Trump revealed last week a 20-points plan for the ceasefire and Gaza after the incoming.

Netanyahu said that Israel accepts the plan, but with warnings. Hamas also widely agreed with the proposals and said it was ready to liberate 48 hostages, 20 of whom are still alive.

Trump pressed both sides to move forward in the plan, and told Israel last week that “immediately” had stopped its attack in Gaza. Hamas also warned of the consequences if it did not happen, saying that “all bets are suspended” if the armed group does not act quickly.

But experts say it is possible that there will be huge challenges in making the warring parties agree on the exact details of the multiple plan, which calls for the disarmament of Hamas and the gradual withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza.

Under the plan, the 2.1 million people sector will be managed by a Palestinian committee of technocrats, supervised by an international supervisory council headed by Trump. An international stability force will be deployed to the security department alongside the Palestinian police trained by Arab and Western countries.

The United Nations will supervise an increase in assistance in the tape, as Israel’s attack killed more than 67,000 people, according to Palestinian health officials, and caused widespread hunger.

Hamas – whose war sparked its attack on October 7, 2023, during which the militants killed 1,200 people and seized 250 hostages – they will not have a role in the governance of the tape.

However, its members will be offered to pardon if he abandons the violence and disarmed them. In exchange for the release of Israeli hostages, Israel will liberate nearly 2000 Palestinian prisoners from his prisons, several hundred of whom spend the punishment for life.

Hamas said it was ready to hand over Gaza governance, which has been controlled since 2007, to a Palestinian committee.

But it is not clear whether it will accept disarmament. He also wants to negotiate the details of the withdrawal of the Israeli forces from the tape and the power of international stability.

On Saturday, the armed group accused Israel of continuing its attack on Gaza, despite the Israeli allegations that the attack had stopped temporarily. Hamas said that dozens of Ghazan were killed in the region.

Netanyahu said on the weekend that the Cairo talks will focus on completing “technical details to issue our hostages.”

He said that Hamas will be removed from his weapon and that Gaza is raining during the second stage, but the Prime Minister did not commit to the full Israeli military withdrawal. “Hamas will be disarmed … This will happen diplomatically through the Trump plan or military by us,” Netanyahu insisted.

American proposals stipulate that Israel will not occupy or include Gaza. Full withdrawal depends on the time frames associated with freezing the tape.

Arab and Muslim countries issued a joint statement on Sunday to support the Trump plan, but also calls for the full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

They called for the Palestinian Authority, which runs limited parts of the occupied West Bank, to eventually return to the tape, and for the future solutions of the two countries to the lengthy Israeli Israeli conflict.
