00:00Negotiators from both Israel and Hamas meet in Cairo tomorrow in an effort to advance peace talks.
00:05U.S. Envoy Steve Whitcoff will also be in attendance.
00:10And I want to reiterate, these are technical talks.
00:14Israel's government has agreed to the first phase of this deal, which is the release of all 48 hostages at once.
00:21As President Trump confirmed, it has been agreed to.
00:24Hamas, the terror organization, will need to release our hostages.
00:28Israel's team of negotiators will be meeting in Egypt to iron out these very specific details on the first phase right now.
00:36Bedrosian adds talks will be confined to a few days maximum.
00:39Israel reiterates the 72-hour deadline for the hostage release once details are solidified with Hamas.
00:45U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he hopes a deal between Israel and Hamas can be finalized early this week to allow the release of hostages from Gaza.
00:53All those talks are occurring, even as I speak to you now. We're hoping it will be finalized very quickly, early this week.
00:59And I'm hoping, you know, again, who knows the timeline, but this cannot take weeks or even multiple days. We want to see this happen very fast.
01:06Meanwhile, numerous explosions were seen across the Gaza Strip on Sunday morning.
01:10Gaza medical officials say 18 people were killed, several injured Sunday morning.
01:14Israel adds the military can continue to act in Gaza for certain defensive purposes.
01:19While certain bombings have actually stopped inside of the Gaza Strip, there's no ceasefire in place at this point in time, although there has been this temporary halt in certain bombings.
01:29The prime minister has given orders actually for defense to fire back for defensive purposes, of course, if there is a threat to their life in the battlefield in Gaza.
01:39Tomorrow's talks come one day ahead of the second anniversary of Hamas's attack that killed some 1,200 Israelis.
01:45According to the Gaza Health Ministry, Israel's offensive has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians.
