Hamas and Israeli delegations have commenced indirect peace talks in Egypt's Sharm El-Sheikh, working through mediators to negotiate a ceasefire and prisoner exchange under President Trump's peace proposal. The negotiations aim to end the nearly two-year Gaza conflict that has claimed over 67,000 Palestinian lives and seeks the release of 47 remaining hostages held in Gaza since the October 2023 attack.
