Delegations from Hamas, Israel, the U.S. and Qatar are set to take part in indirect talks to discuss the U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire proposal.

Egypt is set to host delegations from Israel and Palestinian group Hamas to discuss details of the U.S. backed Gaza ceasefire proposal spearheaded by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Hamas’ delegation would be leaving Doha on Sunday, bound for Cairo.

The U.S. is also sending a delegation including Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

A diplomatic source confirmed to Al Jazeera that a Qatari delegation would also be joining the talks set to take place on Monday.

The source added that “technical talks to begin implementing the first phase of Trump’s plan will start tomorrow in Sharm El‑Sheikh.”

In a joint statement, the foreign ministries of Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have applauded Hamas’ response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire proposal.

The Arab and Islamic foreign ministries also “welcomed President Trump’s call on Israel to immediately stop the bombing and to begin implementation of the exchange agreement and they expressed appreciation for his commitment to establishing peace in the region.”

“They also affirmed that such developments represent a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire, and to address the critical humanitarian conditions facing people in Gaza Strip,” the statement added.

On Friday, Hamas announced its acceptance of several elements of Trump’s 20-point plan, with further negotiations required on certain points.

Trump had threatened the Palestinian group to issues its response to the proposal no later than Sunday.

Qatar hailed Hamas’ agreement to the U.S. ceasefire proposal, calling it as a “positive step towards ending Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.”

“Qatar welcomes the announcement by Hamas of its agreement to President Trump’s plan, and its readiness to release all hostages as part of the exchange framework outlined in the plan,” Majed Al-Ansari, Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson, said on X.

Following Hamas’s response, the U.S. President called on Israel to immediately stop bombing Gaza to secure a pathway to release the remaining captives.

“We are already in discussions on details to be worked out,” Trump wrote in a post. “This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.”

Trump’s Gaza proposal stipulates a conditional ceasefire that would go into effect immediately upon acceptance by all parties.

It also included the release of remaining Israeli captives in Gaza within 72 hours of Israel’s approval, in exchange for Hamas’s disarmament.

Hamas, in a statement, declared that it agreed to release all Israeli captives, both living and deceased.

It also affirmed its readiness to hand control of Gaza over to a Palestinian technocratic body chosen by national consensus, with Arab and Islamic support.

However, Hamas emphasized that Gaza’s future and Palestinian rights must be discussed exclusively within a unified Palestinian framework

Despite Trump’s call for a halt in bombardment, Israel carried out deadly strikes across Gaza on Saturday, killing at least 67 people in the besieged enclave.

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, following Hamas’ surprise and unprecedented attack on October 7, 2023, has killed at least 66,288 people.

The figure, which includes children and women, is still considered to be an undercount, with thousands still trapped under the rubble.

Similarly, Israel’s choking blockade since March 2025 has seen the besieged enclave succumb to a famine as at least 440, including 147 children, have died due to starvation.
