Delegations from Israel and Palestine came yesterday to Sharm El-Shech, a place chosen for indirect negotiations. Mediators – American, runny nose and Egyptians – mediate between representatives of Israel and Hamas from various rooms.
President Trump sent his mediators to Cairo on Saturday, after receiving confirmation from Hamas on Friday – two days before the expiry of the apocalyptic ultimatum. This is a special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, and the president's son -in -law, Jared Kushner. In the second administration of his father -in -law, he only holds the position of “Rabbi Middle East”, which he was given by Witkoff himself.
Obstacles and chances of peace
Both mediators, under the careful eye of Prime Minister Netanyahu in his New York hotel room, corrected and shortened Trump's plan by one point, who emerged from the meeting of the US President with Arabic and Muslim leaders in the region. The point regarding the possibility of the Palestinian state has disappearedfor which the Israeli prime minister clearly stated: “absolutely not.”

As a result, after many hours of scuffles between Netanyahu, Witkoff and Kushner, a plan was created, which was presented on September 29 – in even more unclear circumstances than it was developed – in the White House on a momentous “press conference” from Netanyahu, during which journalists were not allowed to ask questions.
An obstacle, but also – paradoxically – the chance during negotiations in Egypt is just The ambiguity of Trump's 20-point plan, some of which are unclear up to exaggeration. Hamas's quick acceptance sounded, and how, “yes, but …”. As the Israeli press rightly noted, Trump only heard “yes”. However, “but” was aimed at explaining a few issues that directly concern the leaders of Hamas, the few who survived, and whom the plan proposes unconditional surrender. Their situation after replacing hostages with 2000 Palestinians in Palestinian prisons is confusing, which is why the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip is to be a strongly discussed topic today.
Complications on the road to the agreement of Israel and Hamas
Sucot, a seven -day tent festival began. Israelis would like to recover their hostages at this time. Only that Hamas representatives also devoted time to declare that it will not be easy and they will not be able to “quickly” – that is, within 72 hours of the agreement of the agreement, as the US President demanded on the Truth Social platform – gather the dead, but not all alive, calling to stop bombing. However, Hamas representatives declared that it would not be easy. They will not be able to regain the bodies of the dead or free all the living “fast” – that is, within 72 hours, as the US President appealed on on the Truth Social portal.
In the same post, Trump also wrote: “I appreciate that Israel temporarily suspended bombing to give a chance to finalize the release of hostages and a peace agreement.” The attack on the Gaza Strip, however, did not cease until the negotiators and mediators came to Sharm El-Szkk yesterday.
An even more complicated problem appeared yesterday evening, when the sources in Ankara revealed that Türkiye informed American, runny nose and Egyptian mediators that She barely managed to make contact with all groups in gas that hold hostages. Until yesterday two, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic jihad were known. We learn that there are two more. They may want to negotiate separately from Hamas, which will make it difficult. What's more, the leaders of these groups demand a guarantee of personal security if they have to leave the Gaza Strip.

It is true that Netanyahu tried to make Trump's plan coincide with his interests, but he has serious fears himself: withdrawing from the Gaza Zone (even if only for an indefinite period) without the promised “total victory”, amnesty for Hamas fighters, if they put their weapons, and all this – a possible resignation from the annexation of the Gaza and Western Jordan zone. These are sufficient arguments to think about whether he has fallen into his own trap. The more that, like never before, in the face of the overwhelming international support for the end of the war, it will be extremely difficult for him to withdraw.
