Three Reuters sources confirmed the meeting between Peace Council envoys and Hamas representatives.

The envoys, chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump, met to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza.

This represents a significant diplomatic development amid escalating violence in the Gaza genocide.

The Peace Council is described as a new international body personally chaired by Trump.

The council is tasked with overseeing the Gaza Strip after the war.

This diplomatic initiative marks the first publicly announced encounter between Hamas and the Peace Council since the war began.

This signals a shift in the international approach to the Gaza crisis.

Prior to Iran's involvement, Trump's Gaza plan was considered his flagship Middle East initiative.

Hamas representatives issued stern warnings to the Peace Council about potential ceasefire violations.

The movement threatened to back away from previous commitments if Israel continues imposing new restrictions.

These restrictions were imposed during the ongoing war with Iran.

Hamas cited Israel's complete closure of Gaza's borders following the February 28 outbreak of war.

Israel claimed crossings could not be operated securely during this period.

Despite limited resumption of goods and aid, Israel maintained closure of Rafah crossing—the only passage for individuals to Egypt.

Following the diplomatic discussions in Cairo, Israel announced on Sunday that it would soon reopen the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt.

The crossing had been closed since the bombing campaign on Iran began.

Multiple sources believe this Israeli announcement was a direct result of the meeting between Hamas and the Peace Council.

This suggests diplomatic progress in addressing humanitarian access to the besieged territory.

The reopening is planned for later this week after what Israel termed a 'security assessment'.

This represents a potential easing of the blockade during the ongoing Gaza genocide.

The diplomatic efforts in Cairo occur against escalating regional tensions.

The ceasefire negotiations represent a critical component of Trump's broader Middle East strategy.

Talks on disarming Hamas have been stalled since the outbreak of war with Iran.

The Peace Council's involvement is represented by Ari Lightstone, assistant to Trump's special envoy Steve Weitkoff.

Additional meetings are expected this week as the Gaza situation remains dire.

The territory faces ongoing Israeli military operations and humanitarian catastrophe.
