Peace talks between Israel and Hamas were set to resume at an Egyptian resort city on Tuesday, the two-year anniversary of the militant group’s surprise attack on Israel that triggered the bloody conflict that has seen tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in Gaza.
The second day of indirect negotiations in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh will focus on a plan proposed by US President Donald Trump last week. After several hours of talks on Monday, officials said the parties agreed on most of the first-phase terms, which include the release of hostages and establishing a ceasefire.
