Gaza Ceasefire Talks Begin in Egypt Today

HeadlineOct 06, 2025

Negotiations are set to begin in Egypt today after Hamas and Israel agreed to parts of President Trump’s 20-point plan for a Gaza ceasefire. On Friday, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly!” Trump made the comment after Hamas issued a response to Trump’s plan without accepting all of the conditions. The deal calls for a swap of all remaining hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel, as well as an eventual Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. But major questions remain over what both Israel and Hamas will agree to.
