      <title>Trump's envoys in Middle East to push for Gaza peace plan</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Donald Trump’s envoys met with Egyptian, Qatari and ​Turkish mediators in Cairo on Sunday, a diplomatic source said, in a bid to advance the ‌US president’s Gaza peace plan, even as Israel pressed on with airstrikes in the enclave.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hamas officials were present at some of the meetings between mediators and with Trump’s envoy and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Nickolay Mladenov, Trump’s Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, the diplomat said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A ​senior Israeli official said that Kushner and Mladenov were scheduled to meet on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister ​Benjamin Netanyahu, who on August 9 said Trump’s latest roadmap for Gaza peace was ‘unacceptable’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="gaza-medics-say-strikes-injured-several-people" href="#gaza-medics-say-strikes-injured-several-people" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Gaza medics say strikes injured several people&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The official said that Israel was concerned about Washington’s demand to end targeted assassinations of Hamas militants ​in Gaza as the group rebuilds its forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump’s peace plan calls for the immediate cessation of military operations in ​Gaza. It foresees Hamas disarming as Israeli troops withdraw from the enclave and Gaza is rebuilt under a new civilian Palestinian administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After scaling back its attacks in the enclave earlier this month, Israel’s airstrikes have resumed in the past few days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Israeli military said on Sunday that its ​aircraft targeted a militant in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. At least five Palestinians were injured in the strike ​, which hit a tent encampment, medics in the enclave said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A separate airstrike, which the Israeli military said targeted another militant, hit an ‌apartment in ⁠the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, wounding several people, medics said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier, Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya met with Egypt’s intelligence chief Hassan Rashad in Cairo. Hamas spokesperson in Gaza, Hazem Qassem, said Al-Hayya would brief mediators on what he said were Israel’s ceasefire violations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kushner had earlier met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Sisi’s office said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump announced last month that ​there had been a breakthrough ​in his plan to ⁠end the war, to which both Israel and Hamas had agreed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hamas said it had agreed to the plan to avoid a resumption of the war, but added that implementation ​of the deal would depend on Israel first meeting its own commitments, including withdrawing ​its forces and ⁠halting attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An October ceasefire halted major fighting in a devastating two-year war in Gaza that was sparked by Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, but it failed to end Israeli attacks entirely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israeli fire has killed more than 1,250 Palestinians in Gaza, ⁠most of ​them civilians, since October. It is unclear how many of those killed ​were militants, as Hamas does not usually disclose information about dead fighters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Four Israeli soldiers were killed by militants in Gaza over the same period, ​according to Israeli figures.&lt;/p&gt;
