Gaza Ceasefire Talks Begin in Egypt: Trump Urges Swift Action Amid Escalating Crisis.

As the war in Gaza enters its second year, international attention has turned to Egypt, where crucial ceasefire negotiations are set to begin. U.S. President Donald Trump has called on all parties to "move fast" in reaching an agreement, warning of "massive bloodshed" if talks fail. The discussions aim to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis and bring an end to the conflict that has resulted in over 67,000 deaths, according to Gaza's health ministry.


High-Stakes Negotiations in Sharm El-Sheikh

Delegations from the United States, Israel, Hamas, and several Middle Eastern countries are convening in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, for indirect talks aimed at securing a ceasefire. The U.S. delegation includes President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and former senior advisor Jared Kushner. Hamas is represented by Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy head of the group's political bureau, who survived an Israeli missile strike in Qatar last month. The talks are expected to focus on the release of 48 hostages held by Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

Trump's Urgent Call for Action

President Trump has emphasized the urgency of the negotiations, stating that the first phase of the agreement should be completed within the week. He described the talks as "very successful" and proceeding rapidly, urging all parties to expedite their efforts. Trump warned that failure to reach an agreement could lead to "massive bloodshed," a scenario he said "nobody wants to see." 

Hamas's Conditional Support

Hamas has expressed conditional support for the U.S.-backed peace plan, which includes the release of hostages, a phased Israeli troop withdrawal, and the establishment of a post-war governance structure in Gaza. The group has agreed to release all remaining hostages if Israel withdraws from Gaza and "proper field conditions are met." However, Hamas has reservations about disarmament and the conditions for releasing hostages. 


Continued Violence Despite Calls for Ceasefire

Despite calls for a ceasefire, violence has continued in Gaza. Israeli airstrikes have resulted in at least 12 deaths over the weekend, and the Palestinian death toll has risen to over 67,000, with nearly half identified as women and children. The ongoing violence underscores the urgency of the negotiations and the challenges in achieving a lasting peace agreement. 

International Support and Skepticism

The proposed peace plan has garnered support from various international actors, including Qatar and Egypt, who have played mediating roles in the negotiations. However, there is skepticism about the plan's feasibility, particularly regarding Hamas's commitment to disarmament and the establishment of a new governance structure in Gaza. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has acknowledged that while the talks are the closest the sides have come to a resolution, significant hurdles remain.

Ahead

As negotiations commence in Egypt, the world watches closely, hoping for a breakthrough that could end the devastating conflict in Gaza. While the path to peace remains fraught with challenges, the urgency expressed by all parties involved underscores the critical need for a swift and lasting resolution.

  By Kiranagacha Mwaniki - The Common Pulse - Orem, Utah ;  September 13, 2025 The bustling quad of Utah Valley University was supposed to be a stage for debate and free expression.

No Exit: Biya’s Return, Democracy’s Decline

By Kirangacha Mwaniki The Common Pulse | August 2025 At 92 years old, Cameroonian President Paul Biya has signaled his intention to run for yet another term in the 2025 presidential election. Having ruled since 1982, Biya is now the second-longest-serving head of state in the world;  after Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang. His decision has sparked outrage, resignation, and confusion among Cameroonians, many of whom have never known another leader. This re-election bid is more than just a political event;  it is a glaring symptom of a system that has resisted reform, ignored generational change, and weaponized fear to maintain the status quo. The Man Who Time Forgot Paul Biya came to power before most Cameroonians were born. He has led through the Cold War, the rise of mobile phones, the internet revolution, and the African Continental Free Trade Area — all while aging behind the walls of Etoudi Palace. He is rarely seen in public, often ruling from abroad;  mostly Swit...
