      <title>Trump envoys meet Gaza mediators in Cairo as Israel strikes enclave</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330468175/trump-envoys-meet-gaza-mediators-in-cairo-as-israel-strikes-enclave</link>
      <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, aiming to advance the US president’s Gaza peace plan, even as Israel pressed on with air strikes in the enclave.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hamas ‌officials were present at some of the meetings that mediators held with Trump’s envoy and son-in-law, &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/jared-kushner-may-visit-israel-next-week-talks-gaza-source-says-2026-08-14/"&gt;Jared Kushner&lt;/a&gt;, and Trump’s Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, the diplomat said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A senior Israeli official said Kushner and Mladenov were scheduled to meet on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on August 9 said &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trumps-gaza-plan-hinges-hamas-disarmament-israeli-withdrawals-2026-08-10/"&gt;Trump’s latest roadmap&lt;/a&gt; for Gaza peace &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-rejects-trumps-15-point-plan-gaza-pm-netanyahu-says-2026-08-09/"&gt;was ‘unacceptable’&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="several-injured-in-gaza-strikes" href="#several-injured-in-gaza-strikes" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Several injured in Gaza strikes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The official said ​Israel was concerned about Washington’s demand to end targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It foresees Hamas disarming as Israeli troops withdraw from the ⁠enclave and as Gaza is rebuilt under a new civilian Palestinian administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel has resumed air strikes in the past few days after scaling back its attacks in the enclave ​earlier this month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Israeli military said on Sunday that its aircraft struck two activists in Khan Younis and Nuseirat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least five ​Palestinians were wounded in the strike, which hit a tent encampment, medics in the enclave said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of those wounded in the strike on Khan Younis in southern Gaza died from their wounds, medics at Nasser Hospital said later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A separate air strike, which the Israeli military said targeted another Palestinian activist, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hazem Qassem, a Hamas spokesperson in Gaza, said Al Hayya would brief ​mediators on what he said were Israel’s ceasefire violations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hamas on Sunday called on mediators ​and the Board of Peace, which was set up as part of Trump’s peace plan, to compel Israel to meet its obligations of ​the plan’s first phase, end its ⁠violations of the ceasefire agreement, and approve the roadmap for the second phase of the plan, according to a statement from the group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-strike-gaza-kills-palestinian-first-fatality-over-week-medics-say-2026-08-13/"&gt;October ceasefire&lt;/a&gt; halted major fighting in a devastating two-year war in Gaza, 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 since October 2025.&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;
