Top US envoys and prominent regional figures have joined the third day of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas in Egypt on President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza.

Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are in Sharm el-Sheikh along with Qatar’s prime minister and Turkey’s intelligence chief for what is expected to be a key day indicating whether progress can be made.

As the negotiations resumed, a senior Hamas official told newsmen,  it had shown “the necessary positivity” and submitted a list of the Palestinian prisoners it wanted Israel to release in exchange for the hostages being held in Gaza.

Trump also struck a positive tone, saying: There’s a real chance that something could be done.

Witkoff and Kushner, who served as Trump’s Middle East adviser during his first term, flew into the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh earlier today for the talks.

Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, and the head of Turkish intelligence, Ibrahim Kalin, also joined them.
