PREVIEW

Gaza Hostage Release Hopes Rise. President Trump expects Gaza hostages to be freed soon as Hamas-Israel peace talks begin in Egypt. Hamas accepted parts of a U.S. peace plan but key issues like disarmament remain unsettled. Despite Trump’s call to halt airstrikes, Israeli strikes continued over the weekend, killing over 65 Palestinians. The deal proposes freeing 48 hostages—only 20 believed alive—in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian detainees and a ceasefire. Hamas surprised observers by dropping preconditions, reportedly under pressure from Qatari, Egyptian, and Turkish mediators. Trump warned that if Hamas insists on remaining in power in Gaza, it could face total destruction. Trump’s draft map would exclude nearly 900,000 Palestinians from returning to northern and central Gaza. The Egypt talks could decide if a ceasefire and political solution are finally possible after nearly two years of war.
