<\/a>US and Israel Upgrade Presence at Gaza Talks After Hamas Hands Over Hostage Swap List<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nReuters and Algemeiner Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Talks to end the war in Gaza were bolstered by the arrival of senior figures from Israel and the United States on Wednesday after Hamas handed over its lists of hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be freed in a swap.<\/span><\/p>\n With President Donald Trump\u2019s 20-point plan appearing closer than any previous effort to halt the war, delegations were upgrading their presence at the talks, launched on Monday in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh, sources familiar with the talks said, and an Israeli official said Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was also now there.<\/span><\/p>\n They were expected to join the talks, along with the prime minister of longstanding mediator Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani.<\/span><\/p>\n Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the indirect negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas had made \u201ca lot of headway\u201d and that a ceasefire would be declared if they reached a positive outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump also expressed optimism about progress towards a deal on Tuesday, and European, Arab and other states will meet in Paris on Thursday to discuss Gaza\u2019s post-war transition, with Washington likely to be represented, diplomatic sources said.<\/span><\/p>\n But crucial details are yet to be spelled out, including the timing, a post-war administration for the Gaza Strip and the fate of Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n Hamas said it had handed over its lists of hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged in a swap, and was optimistic about the talks so far.<\/span><\/p>\n The list of Palestinians Hamas wants freed is expected to include some of the most prominent prisoners ever jailed by Israel, whose release had been off limits in previous ceasefires.<\/span><\/p>\n According to a Palestinian source close to the talks, the list includes Marwan al-Barghouti, a leader of the Fatah movement, and Ahmed Saadat, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Both are serving multiple life sentences for involvement in attacks that killed Israelis.<\/span><\/p>\n Hamas says the indirect negotiations were focused so far on three issues: halting the conflict, withdrawing Israeli forces from Gaza and the swap deal.<\/span><\/p>\n The group has so far refused to discuss Israel\u2019s demand that Hamas give up its arms, which the Palestinian source said Hamas would reject as long as Israeli troops occupy Palestinian land.<\/span><\/p>\n Two sources familiar with the talks confirmed that sticking points included the mechanism for the Israeli withdrawal, with Hamas seeking a clear timeline linked to the release of hostages and guarantees of a complete withdrawal by Israeli forces.<\/span><\/p>\n Within Gaza, Israel has dialed down its military campaign at Trump\u2019s behest, but it has not halted strikes altogether. The Israeli military said its forces had killed several militants in Gaza City, Gaza\u2019s main urban hub, who it said were on their way to attack Israeli soldiers.<\/span><\/p>\n Gaza medical authorities reported eight people killed in Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours, the lowest toll for weeks. Daily death tolls had been around 10 times as high over the past month as Israeli forces advance on Gaza City.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe hope from God that a ceasefire would take place as soon as possible, because people can\u2019t bear the suffering anymore,\u201d said Jehad al-Shagnobi, whose house was destroyed in the Sabra district of Gaza City.<\/span><\/p>\n Another participant at the talks will be Turkish spymaster Ibrahim Kalin, pointing to a growing role for Turkey, a NATO member with close contacts with Hamas. President Tayyip Erdogan said Trump had asked Turkey to help persuade Hamas to accept the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump\u2019s plan calls for an international body led by Trump and including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to play a role in Gaza\u2019s post-war administration. Arab countries which back the plan say it must lead to eventual independence for a Palestinian state, which Netanyahu says will never happen.<\/span><\/p>\n There is no clear indication who will rule Gaza when the war ends. Netanyahu, Trump, Western and Arab states have ruled out a role for Hamas, which has run Gaza since driving out Palestinian rivals in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n Hamas has said it would relinquish Gaza governance only to a Palestinian technocrat government supervised by the Palestinian Authority and backed by Arab and Muslim countries. It rejects any role for Blair or foreign rule of Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> US and Israel Upgrade Presence at Gaza Talks After Hamas Hands Over Hostage Swap List Reuters and Algemeiner Staff Destroyed buildings following explosions in Gaza, as seen from southern Israel, October 7, 2025.
