US EditionHamas frees Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners under Trump's Gaza ceasefire deal
A total of 20 Israeli hostages were released in exchange for over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, marking a key step in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire to end the two-year conflict.
- On Monday, Hamas will free 20 living hostages as part of the ceasefire, with the International Committee of the Red Cross overseeing handovers to Israeli forces at Reim military base.
- Two years of war have left Gaza devastated, displacing about 2,000 of its 2 million residents, prompting aid efforts soon.
- Gal Hirsch said an international task force will locate deceased hostages within 72 hours, though remains of up to 28 other hostages are unlikely to be returned simultaneously as Red Cross vehicles moved in Gaza and Israel early Monday.
- The Israeli military body said aid will increase to around 600 trucks per day Sunday, and about 200 U.S. troops are now in Israel to monitor the ceasefire.
- Under the U.S. plan, an international governing body for Gaza would oversee Palestinian technocrats, with an Arab-led international security force and Palestinian police trained by Egypt and Jordan, while Benjamin Netanyahu rejects a future Palestinian state and Mahmoud Abbas’s postwar role.
