Ten days ago, things looked absolutely hopelessly In Israel and Gaza. The Israeli Armed Forces reluctantly expanded their attack on the city of Gaza – against the stated position of their top generals, but at the behest of the Benjamin Netanyahu government. Hamas deliberately put Israeli hostages in danger, using them essentially as human shields throughout the bombed city, and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian citizens were trapped in a war zone or had to flee to – in the same way.

A few hours later, on the day of the October 7th massacre, and after Donald Trump’s suffocating pressures on Netanyahu, as well as the Hamas threats in the dire state, there is a common confession. However, with tens of thousands of dead, and absolutely conflicting interests, separated by blood, the “The devil hides in the details.”

The plan of the US president, announced on September 29, provides for a ceasefire, release within 72 hours of hostages, withdrawing against the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip and the disarmament of the Palestinian Islamist movement.

‘Positive atmosphere’

In particular, the first row of talks between Hamas and the mediators – Egypt, Qatar, USA – completed in ‘Positive atmosphere’it broadcast early today Egyptian state media.

In Al qhera newstelevision network considered to be attached to the Egyptian Intelligence Service, talks are expected to continue within the day in the resort Sharm El Sheikh of the Red Sea, always between Hamas and the mediators. Meanwhile, the Israeli delegation also stood out on Monday.

The delegates of Egypt and Qatar ‘They work with the two parties to create a mechanism’ which will allow the release of hostages in exchange for the release of prisoners, had reported the same medium earlier.

Reportage broadcast by the Al Jazeera of Qatar also describes the meeting as “Positive.”

As the ReutersA Palestinian official said during the first meeting, Hamas presented her position on the release of the hostages and the timetable of Israel’s departure from Gaza. The Islamist team also expressed concerns about whether Israel would commit to a permanent ceasefire and overall withdrawal, the official said.

‘Hamas accepted very important things’

The talks are based on a 20 -point design proposed by President Trump to end the battles and the release of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

‘I believe that (the negotiation) It goes very well and I think Hamas accepted very important things »said the 79 -year -old Republican. “We will secure an agreement on Gaza, I’m pretty sure” So, he added.

The US president, who ordered his special envoy Steve Whitkov and his groom Jared Cousner to go to Egypt, requires progress “quickly”.

According to his sources A French agency aware of the talks, the Israeli delegation is expected and that of Hamas to participate in indirect negotiations in the same building, but in separate rooms, with mediators conveying the messages of one side to another.

This is before a month after the attempted assassination of Hamas negotiators with unprecedented Israeli air bombing in the capital of Qatar.

Head of the Palestinian Islamist Movement Group that went to Egypt is Halil al -Hayawho escaped from that attack – in which his son was killed.

The “thorns”

According to a senior executive of the movement, the Hamas delegation was going to have talks yesterday morning at Cairo With Egypt and Qatar officials, before the official launch of the negotiations in Sharm El Sheikh.

Were to be focused on ‘Ceasefire mechanisms, withdrawal of occupation forces and captives’he explained.

On Sunday, Hamas expressed her will to “Immediately start the process of exchange prisoners.” But she made no reference to her disarmament, a key element of the proposal, also stressing that she means to participate in any discussion of the future of Gaza, which does not foresee the American plan.

The movement requires “Israel to end all military operations In the whole of the Gaza Strip » and he says that at the same time “The factions of the resistance will end their military operations.” The jihadist organization also requires the release of four high-profile of Palestinian prisoners, Marouan Bargouti, Ahmad Saadat, Ibrahim Hammad and Abas al-Saed, during the exchange of hostages, with Tel Aviv.

In her response to the Trump plan, Hamas said Friday she was ready to release all hostages to secure ‘The end of the war’ and the ‘Complete Israeli withdrawal’ from the small seaside pocket.

A major ally of the US president, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assures that he is supporting the Trump plan, but at the same time he says that his army will remain in most of the Gaza strip, which is currently controlled by Israeli sources today. He also insists that he considers Hamas disarmament necessary.

Netanyahu also faces the pressure of his far -right partners, Defense Minister Ithamar Ben Kvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotric.

Bombardment

In case of failure of negotiations ‘We will resume the battle’; The Chief of the Israeli General Staff was threatened yesterday Zamir.

The efforts of mediators have so far failed to ensure a ceasefire. The two previous ceasefire agreements, in November 2023 and in the early 2025, allowed Israeli hostages to return to return to the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

In the Gaza Strip, Civil Protection has spoken of new Israeli bombings In the city of Gaza (north) and to Han Junis (south), where at least two Palestinians were killed.
