Israel Hamas Ceasefire Update: Trump May Travel to Middle East Amid Gaza Negotiations

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he may travel to the Middle East within days as U.S., Qatari and Israeli officials joined Hamas leaders in Egypt for intensive talks aimed at ending the war in Gaza.

“I may go there sometime toward the end of the week,” Trump said at the White House, adding that “negotiations are going along very well.”

The discussions in the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh have produced what mediators described as major progress toward a ceasefire, a hostage release and a postwar plan for Gaza.

Hamas is seeking guarantees that Israel will not resume military operations after releasing hostages, while key issues — including the group’s disarmament and the timing of an Israeli withdrawal — remain unresolved.
