Here’s the latest
• US President Donald Trump hailed a “dawn of a new Middle East” in remarks before the Israeli parliament on Monday after Hamas freed all living hostages and Israel released Palestinian prisoners under the US-brokered ceasefire deal. Trump has arrived in Egypt for a summit with world leaders on Gaza’s future.
• The 20 remaining living hostages in Gaza were returned to Israel earlier Monday after two years of war. Hamas released the names of four deceased hostages whose bodies it says will be handed over. All 250 Palestinian prisoners and more than 1,700 detainees from Gaza, held by Israel without charge since the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, have now been released.
• Emotional scenes unfolded as the freed hostages reunited with their families in hospitals across Israel and as Palestinian prisoners met with their relatives in the West Bank and arrived in buses to large crowds in Gaza.
