The Lebanese newspaper "Al-Akhbar," affiliated with Hezbollah, reported that Egypt is increasingly pessimistic about the success of US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war. Egyptian sources told the newspaper that senior American officials informed their counterparts in Cairo that the plan is the last chance before Israel gives free rein to a comprehensive military operation in the Gaza Strip aimed at completely eliminating Hamas and other factions. According to the source, "Washington refuses to discuss any comments from Hamas or the factions," especially regarding the release of hostages within 72 hours, details of Israeli withdrawal or governance mechanisms for the day after.
