Before the Israel-Hamas negotiations, Trump warned "no tolerance for any delay"
Donald Trump: Israel has agreed to a withdrawal line in Gaza, and once Hamas agrees, the exchange of hostages and prisoners will begin, and the ceasefire agreement should take effect immediately.
Israel and Hamas negotiators began indirect talks in Egypt on Sunday on Trump's Gaza plan, which aims to end the Gaza war and ultimately release the hostages.
Trump warned that he "will not tolerate any delay" in implementing his Gaza plan, which includes a ceasefire, the release of hostages within 72 hours, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, disarming Hamas, and exiling its fighters.
Trump specifically assured that Israel has agreed to establish an initial "withdrawal line" 1.5 to 3.5 kilometers inside the Palestinian territory boundary, and that once Hamas accepts it, the ceasefire "will take effect immediately" before the exchange of hostages and prisoners.
Following a positive response from Hamas to President Trump's Gaza peace plan proposed at the end of September, both sides launched a series of diplomatic consultations.
American envoy Wittkow and Donald Trump's son-in-law Kushner are expected to arrive in Egypt on Sunday to attend the talks.
This diplomatic activity is taking place two days before the second anniversary of the Gaza war, which was triggered by Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced in Jerusalem that he had asked his negotiation team to go to Egypt to "finalize technical details." He hopes to implement Trump's plan in the coming days and bring back the remaining hostages.
Media affiliated with Egyptian intelligence, Al-Qahera News, reported that Hamas and Israel will hold indirect talks in Egypt on Sunday and Monday to try to release the detained hostages and prisoners.
Demonstrations
On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people marched in Rome, Barcelona, and Madrid, demanding an end to the Gaza war. Crowds holding Palestinian flags and headscarves chanted "Free Palestine." This mobilization was launched after Israel intercepted the last ship of the international support convoy to Gaza.
On Thursday, after a deadly attack outside a Jewish synagogue in Manchester, UK, smaller demonstrations were held in Dublin and London in support of the Jewish community, although the government urged the public to remain calm, about a thousand people participated in the demonstration.
