US President Donald Trump has declared the end of the two-year-long Gaza war after Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza under a ceasefire deal. Israel has sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees as part of the agreement. The ceasefire, brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, marks a significant step towards peace in the region.
Thousands gathered at “Hostage Square” in Tel Aviv to welcome home the 20 hostages confirmed to be alive, while in Gaza, families of Palestinian prisoners and detainees celebrated the release of nearly 2,000 individuals. Trump convened a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, with Muslim and European leaders to discuss Gaza’s future and potential regional peace. Despite progress, formidable obstacles remain, including securing an enduring ceasefire and determining Gaza’s governance and future.
