On the second anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack, US President Donald Trump said the US is in “very serious negotiations” with Israel and Hamas to end the Gaza war. Talks are being held in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, with the US, Qatar, and Egypt acting as mediators. Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to join soon. Both sides have shown cautious support for Trump’s peace plan, which focuses first on halting fighting and releasing hostages. Meanwhile, Israel continues airstrikes in Gaza. Trump met Canadian PM Mark Carney and will meet freed US hostage Edan Alexander later today. (PC: Reuters)
