Hamas Hands over Surviving Israeli Hostages as Trump Visits Region
Hamas will release 20 living hostages in exchange for over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners as a ceasefire marks a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.
- On Oct. 13, Hamas began releasing surviving hostages to the Red Cross as US President Donald Trump arrived to co-host a peace summit, declaring the war over.
- Two years after the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, the fighting has displaced about 90 per cent of Gaza Strip’s 2 million residents and left 47 hostages unaccounted for.
- Israeli officials say the 20 living hostages will be transferred to the International Committee of the Red Cross and then taken to a military base or hospital.
- Agencies and families prepared for reunions as Shosh Bedrosian said, `In the event that hostages are released earlier, Israel is ready to receive them`, while Egypt sent 400 trucks and the Israeli humanitarian body expected around 600 trucks per day.
- Unresolved items in the peace plan include Gaza's governance and Hamas's disarmament, while the Israel Defence Forces say Operation `Returning Home` has entered its final phase.
