The last of the Israeli hostages being held in Gaza are expected to be freed Monday morning local time, shortly before a 72-hour deadline for their release elapses. Nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Israel will also be released.
The IDF has warned Palestinians against celebrating their release after making a series of raids in the occupied West Bank. US President Donald Trump is expected to address Israel’s parliament on Monday.
Leaders from more than 20 countries, including Emmanuel Macron of France and Keir Starmer of Britain, will then join Trump in Egypt for a summit on Gaza’s future. Aid trucks are expected to enter southern Gaza today, according to Egyptian state-affiliated media.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians have returned home to find only ruins as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas enters a third day. Local authorities say scores of bodies have been pulled from rubble.
