A: Hey, Yuki! You read the news today?
B: Not yet, Naomi. What's up?

A: Well, Trump's been talking with Hamas about a ceasefire plan. But if they don't give in, he said... umm, it won't be good for them!

B: Oh, no! That sounds serious. Is Secretary Rubio involved too?

A: Yeah, he mentioned talks between Israel and Hamas. He's focusing on getting hostages released as soon as possible.

B: That's good to hear. I hope they can do it quickly!

A: Exactly, Yuki! Rubio also said that peace won't last if Hamas keeps armed. They have to disarm and stay out of Gaza's government.

B: Oh, that's a lot to ask... but I hope they agree on it for the hostages' sake.

A: Yeah, me too. Hamas agreed to release the Israeli hostages, but they haven't decided about disarming and giving up control yet.

B: They have talks scheduled with Israel in Egypt tomorrow. I guess we'll see what happens then!
