# The Red Cross says it stood ready to help bring hostages held in Gaza back to their families in Israel and deliver aid into the Gaza Strip. Delegations from Hamas, Israel and the United States are due to convene in Egypt for talks today aimed at ending the nearly two-year war in Gaza. Both Hamas and Israel have responded positively to US President Donald Trump’s proposal for an end to the fighting and the release of hostages in Gaza in exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli jails.
