WASHINGTON, Oct 6, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump on Sunday urged Hamas and Israeli negotiators gathering in Egypt for crucial talks aimed at ending the war in Gaza to "move fast," adding that there had been "very positive discussions" with the Palestinian armed group.

"There have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) this weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle East," he posted on his Truth Social platform.
