Joy In Israel As Hostages Return But Families Say Hamas Not Honouring Deal To Return All The Dead

The last 20 living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are now back in Israel after more than two years in captivity

The hostages were kidnapped by Hamas during the 7 October attacks in 2023 – watch the moments several were reunited with their families

The IDF says Hamas has handed over the coffins of two dead hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza, with two more to be returned today. Hamas has told mediators it does not know the location of some of the other 24

Families demand that the deal to return all the hostages is honoured, while the IDF says Hamas must “uphold its part of the agreement”

In exchange for the hostages, Israel has released almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees

Donald Trump has arrived in Egypt for a peace summit with world leaders after hailing “the historic dawn of a new Middle East” in an address to Israel’s parliament

The gathering will be another victory lap for the US president – he has declared that the war in Gaza is over, but the negotiations are not, writes Hugo Bachega
