A Hamas delegation is heading to Cairo to discuss new ideas for securing a ceasefire, as Egypt takes the lead in negotiations with a new proposal. Israel and the Trump administration have pushed for Egypt to lead the talks, believing that Cairo can pressure Hamas more effectively. The new deal proposal reportedly includes a seven-year ceasefire, a full IDF withdrawal from Gaza, the release of all hostages, and a declaration by Hamas that it has laid down its weapons. The plan would not see any mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, and the US has committed to pressuring Israel to agree to the deal.
