Palestinian detainees, Israeli captives freed; Trump in Knesset

BBC update
   

RELEASE of Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails begins after Hamas frees all 20 living Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip as part of ceasefire deal.

US President Donald Trump is in Israel, where he has addressed the Knesset before heading to Egypt to co-chair an international summit on the deal.

Palestinians continue to return to what is left of their homes in northern Gaza as desperately needed humanitarian aid begins trickling into the Strip.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 67,869 people and wounded 170,105 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
