- U.S. envoys met with mediators in Cairo to discuss President Trump's Gaza peace plan.
- Israel continued airstrikes in Gaza, striking militants and wounding several people, with one fatality reported.
- Hamas officials also met with Egyptian intelligence, with a spokesperson citing Israeli ceasefire violations.
Donald Trump's envoys engaged in diplomatic efforts in Cairo on Sunday, meeting with Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators to advance the U.S. president's peace plan for Gaza. The discussions occurred even as Israel maintained its airstrikes within the enclave.
Hamas officials participated in some of the meetings, which included Trump's envoy and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov. A senior Israeli official indicated that Kushner and Mladenov were scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. Netanyahu had previously described Trump's latest roadmap for Gaza peace as 'unacceptable.'
unacceptable
Israel expressed concern over Washington's demand to cease targeted assassinations of Hamas militants, particularly as the group reportedly rebuilds its forces. Trump's peace initiative calls for an immediate halt to military operations in Gaza, followed by Hamas disarmament as Israeli troops withdraw. The plan envisions Gaza's reconstruction under a new civilian Palestinian administration.
Meanwhile, Israel resumed airstrikes in recent days. The Israeli military reported striking two Islamic Jihad and Hamas militants in Khan Younis and Nuseirat on Sunday. Medics stated that at least five Palestinians were wounded in the Khan Younis strike, which hit a tent encampment. Later, one of those wounded died from their injuries. Another strike in the Nuseirat camp wounded several people.
