Overview

• Israel confirmed receipt of the final 20 living hostages from Gaza via the Red Cross after transfers in two groups.
• Roughly 1,900–2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners were freed, including about 250 long-term inmates, with returns to Gaza and the West Bank.
• World leaders gathered in Sharm el‑Sheikh for a signing ceremony and to outline next steps including international monitoring, humanitarian access and a proposed U.S.-led Board of Peace.
• Implementation features partial Israeli redeployment and multinational oversight, with about 200 U.S. troops coordinating compliance and aid from inside Israel.
• Key disputes persist over Hamas disarmament, Gaza’s interim governance, full withdrawal sequencing and the timely return of deceased hostages’ remains, which Israel says is lagging.
