CAIRO / JERUSALEM / WASHINGTON – A new chapter in Middle East diplomacy may be unfolding.

Negotiations between Israel and Hamas have quietly resumed in Cairo, under the watch of Egyptian mediators and with the United States backing a 20-point peace proposal attributed to former President Donald Trump.


The talks aim to secure a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and phased de-escalation after two years of devastating warfare that reshaped the region and cost tens of thousands of lives.




Hamas Considers a Deal, But With Conditions


Officials close to the talks confirm that Hamas has expressed willingness to consider both a ceasefire and the return of remaining hostages, provided that Israel commits to:



  • Humanitarian corridors for aid and medical access;

  • International monitoring of any truce;

  • Discussions on long-term sovereignty and reconstruction in Gaza.


A senior Egyptian official told ShockYa that “for the first time in two years, both sides are showing signs of fatigue — and realism.”




Israel Holds Its Line


Despite diplomatic signals, Israeli forces continue their air and ground operations in Gaza, targeting what they describe as “remaining Hamas military infrastructure.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed, “Israel will defend itself until the last hostage is home.”




The Trump Plan — 20 Points of Controversy and Opportunity


The U.S.-endorsed 20-point framework includes:



  • A mutual 90-day ceasefire;

  • A prisoner-for-hostage exchange supervised by Egypt and Qatar;

  • Phased reconstruction guarantees backed by Gulf funding;

  • A new security corridor policed jointly by Arab states and U.N. observers.


Critics dismiss it as an electoral gambit, while others see it as the first actionable blueprint since previous talks failed.




Energy Markets React as World Powers Watch


The peace momentum is affecting oil markets, with Brent crude rising following a smaller-than-expected OPEC+ output increase, indicating hopes for stability.




The Two-Year Reckoning


As Israel remembers the dark day of October 7th, Palestinians cling to cautious optimism that the cycle of violence might finally end.




The Global Stakes


The negotiations' outcome may reshape Middle Eastern diplomacy, impacting energy security and international alignments worldwide.




In Summary


As of tonight, the Cairo dialogue remains tentative but alive, with signs of engagement visible from both sides.
