Israeli and Hamas officials entered a second day of indirect negotiations in Egypt on Oct. 7 over a U.S.-drafted peace plan. The talks continued as the region marked the second anniversary of the 2023 attack, in which Hamas-led terrorists killed about 1,200 people and seized 251 hostages in southern Israel.

The talks, held in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, began on Oct. 6 with delegations from Egypt, the United States, and Qatar acting as intermediaries.
