"The release is part of a complex exchange under which Israel will free 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and receive the remains of 28 hostages who did not survive captivity. Israeli officials said not all remains are expected to be returned immediately. Trump arrived in Israel just as the handover began. The president will meet with hostage families and address the Knesset before traveling to Egypt for a peace summit aimed at cementing the ceasefire."
All living Israeli hostages held by Hamas were released from Gaza after a 737-day captivity. The remaining 20 captives were handed to the Red Cross early Monday morning and transferred to hospitals and a local military base. The first released group included Gali and Ziv Berman, Matan Angrest, Alon Ohel, Omri Miran, Eitan Mor, and Guy Gilboa-Dallal, who were seen speaking to Israeli soldiers. The exchange will see Israel free 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and receive the remains of 28 hostages who did not survive captivity, although not all remains are expected immediately. President Trump arrived as the handover began and plans to meet families, address the Knesset, and attend an Egypt summit to cement the ceasefire.
