First round of Hamas, mediator talks ends in ‘positive atmosphere’: Egypt state-linked media

The first round of Gaza talks between Hamas and mediators have ended in Egypt “amid a positive atmosphere”, Egyptian state-linked media reported early on Tuesday.

Al-Qahera News, which is linked to state intelligence, reported the talks will continue on Tuesday, also between Hamas and mediators in the resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh, where an Israeli delegation arrived on Monday.

Israel and Hamas are expected to engage in indirect talks on the details of a proposal by US President Donald Trump for a hostage-prisoner exchange and long-term ceasefire.
