Diplomatic Discussions: Hamas and Mediators Engage in Positive Talks in Sharm el-Sheikh

In a climate of optimism, the ongoing negotiations between mediators and Hamas took place on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The Cairo News Channel reported that initial discussions concluded positively, setting a hopeful tone for future engagements scheduled later that same day.

Sources highlighted the positive nature of these meetings, emphasizing how they have outlined a roadmap and mechanisms for the current negotiation process. A delegation from Hamas informed mediators that continued airstrikes in Gaza pose significant challenges to prisoner releases, adding complexity to the dialogue.

This round of talks, held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, marks a non-direct meeting between delegations from Hamas and Israel in Egypt, centered around a prisoner exchange plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Expressing optimism about progress in Gaza agreements, Trump noted that all parties, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had agreed to the proposal.

Trump further elaborated that Hamas has consented to crucial elements of this agreement, deeming it a “miraculously agreed upon deal.” He emphasized international support for this initiative, citing contributions from countries like Qatar, Turkey, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Surprisingly, he received strong signals from Iran expressing interest in finalizing the Gaza agreement.

Trump discussed with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has been a staunch advocate for reaching an accord in Gaza. He concluded by affirming that Hamas is currently cooperating constructively, believing all parties are moving positively towards resolving the Gaza issue.

The delegations involved in ceasefire negotiations arrived in Egypt to commence non-direct talks aimed at establishing mechanisms to facilitate field conditions for releasing Israeli detainees and Palestinian prisoners.
