Israeli and Hamas officials have launched indirect talks in Egypt on a potential ceasefire in Gaza. They are discussing the U.S.-drafted peace plan to end the war on the eve of its second anniversary. The negotiations focus on a ceasefire's first stage.

That includes the partial withdrawal of Israeli forces and the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to join. Many uncertainties remain about the plan including the disarmament of Hamas and the future governance of Gaza.

Israel continues with airstrikes despite Trump's order to stop.
