Trump says Gaza war has ended; Israel awaits release of hostages

  • On Monday, US President Donald Trump declared the next stage of Gaza peace talks underway after the ceasefire took effect on Friday and the Sharm el-Sheikh summit.
  • The Sharm el-Sheikh accord last week finalized the release of hostages and Palestinian detainees, crucial to the Gaza agreement, following Hamas's October 7 attack that seized 251 hostages and triggered a two-year war.
  • Hamas released the last 20 living Israeli hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross, while Israel freed nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners including 1,700 detainees captured in Gaza and 250 from Israeli jails.
  • In Tel Aviv, crowds at Hostage Square erupted in cheering and weeping as hundreds of trucks entered southern Gaza on Sunday, with U.N. aid chief Tom Fletcher urging rapid aid scale-up.
  • Crucial sticking points include Gaza governance and policing as Hamas rejects disarmament, Israeli troops still hold roughly half of Gaza, and recovering the remains of 26 hostages amid a security crackdown that killed 32 rivals.
