The Egyptian Foreign Ministry announces that on Monday, Egypt will host Hamas and Israeli delegations for talks to discuss the details of releasing all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners under the Trump plan.

The statement says the discussions are expected to hopefully lead to an end to the war in Gaza and to alleviating Palestinian suffering.
