The ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Trump ended two years of war with Hamas and included the release of 20 hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, officials said.
- On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at Ben Gurion International Airport, Tel Aviv, as Hamas released all 20 remaining living hostages under a ceasefire brokered by Trump.
- The release began with seven young Israelis seized during the October 7 attack, including Alon Ohel taken at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, crossing into Israel about three hours early.

- The Israel Defence Forces warned the country remains in a `multi-front war`, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced boos from about 500,000 people at a Saturday memorial gathering.
