ISTANBUL (AA) – Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel for a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap deal resumed in Egypt on Tuesday.

Egyptian daily AlMasry Alyoum reported that Hamas and Israeli negotiators began a second day of negotiations in the Red Sea city of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari confirmed the resumption of the talks, saying that many details in US President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan need discussion and negotiation between the two sides.

Speaking at a press conference in Doha, Ansari said that Hamas and Israeli negotiators held talks for four hours on Monday to remove obstacles to a ceasefire in Gaza.
