Officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey are attempting to convince Hamas to agree to Trump's Gaza peace plan. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Thursday that Cairo was working with Qatar and Turkey to convince Hamas to accept US President Donald Trump's plan to end a nearly two-year-old war in Gaza.
