Senior officials from the United States, Qatar and Israel are expected to join the third day of talks between Israel and Hamas in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. It's a sign negotiators aim to tackle on Wednesday the toughest issues of an American plan to end the war in Gaza. Hamas says it's seeking solid guarantees from U.S. President Donald Trump that Israel will not resume its military campaign after the militant group releases its remaining hostages under the plan. Among the more senior officials joining the negotiations are Qatar’s prime minister, Trump’s Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and the U.S. president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
