Middle East Conflict

Israel and Hamas have commenced negotiations in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, with mediators facilitating discussions on a US-advanced 20-point peace plan. The talks focus on an initial ceasefire and the release of 48 remaining hostages, with Hamas requesting more time to locate all captives, some of whom may be buried under rubble in Gaza.

Trust remains low between the parties, exacerbated by recent violence, including an Israeli strike on a Hamas delegation in Qatar. Key sticking points include the timing of troop withdrawals and guarantees for a future Palestinian state, with Israel expressing strong reservations about such commitments.

Columnas de humo se elevan sobre una destrozada ciudad de Gaza. Israel sigue bombardeando objetivos a pesar de los llamamientos de Donald Trump para que se detenga. Israel dice que sus tropas sólo se están defendiendo. Funcionarios de salud en Gaza dicen que al menos 19 personas más murieron que se suman a la cifra de más de 67.000 muertos. Esto de una guerra de dos años que finalmente puede estar cerca de su fin Después de que ambas partes parecieran aprobar un ambicioso plan de paz de 20 puntos propuesto por Washington. Me alegro de que estés tan emocionado de verme hoy. El presidente quiere un alto el fuego. Quiere ver a los rehenes liberados. En la ciudad turística egipcia de Sharm el-Sheikh las dos partes están hablando a través de mediadores. Se centran en la primera fase del plan, un alto el fuego dando a Hamas 72 horas para liberar a los 48 rehenes restantes 20 de los cuales se cree que siguen vivos. Trump sugiere que el grupo militante está cooperando. Y creo que Hamas ahora ha sido todo lo que puedo decir es que han estado bien. Pero Hamas dice que necesita más tiempo para localizar a todos los rehenes incluyendo los restos enterrados bajo los escombros de Gaza. La confianza entre ambas partes es inexistente. Ha empeorado desde que Israel bombardeó la delegación de Hamás en Qatar hace menos de un mes. Desaparecidos altos cargos pero asesinado el hijo de su negociador jefe. No hago diferencias entre mis hijos y cualquier niño palestino asesinado en Gaza declaró a los medios de comunicación qataríes el fin de semana. Pero pedimos que su sangre sea un camino hacia la victoria. Un camino hacia Jerusalén. Palabras, Adrian, que los negociadores israelíes no encontrarán muy tranquilizadoras. Sasha, mencionaste el posible momento de la liberación de los rehenes pero hay por supuesto muchos otros puntos de fricción. Así es, y muchos de ellos tienen que ver con el tiempo y la confianza. A Hamas le preocupa que una vez que todos los rehenes sean liberados Israel haga lo que quiera. Así que quiere que todas las tropas israelíes se retiren de Gaza o casi fuera antes de que esa liberación ocurra. Israel no confía en que Hamas se desarme y abandone si sus fuerzas ya no están allí para asegurarse de que eso ocurra. Y a largo plazo Hamás quiere garantías de que ese camino hacia un estado palestino que se promete en estos 20 puntos de Donald Trump que realmente va a suceder. Israel ya ha dicho que de ninguna manera lo permitiría, Adrian. Muy bien, gracias Sasha. Este es Sasha Petrosik en la autopista de Jerusalén.
