US special envoy Steve Witkoff and US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will join Gaza peace plan talks between Israeli and Hamas negotiators in Egypt on Wednesday, the BBC reports.
Their arrival comes as a second day of indirect talks on Tuesday ended without tangible results, a senior Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations told the BBC.
Trump struck a positive tone as Israelis marked the second anniversary of the 7 October Hamas-led attacks on their country, saying “there’s a possibility that we could have peace in the Middle East”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahudid not comment on the status of the talks, but told Israelis they were in “fateful days of decision”.
