Overview

• Israel says it is ready to receive all captives, expecting roughly 20 survivors and the remains of several dozen, with local reports suggesting the handover could begin before the Monday deadline.
• Under the U.S.-brokered deal, Hamas must deliver all captives by midday Monday, while Israel has positioned about 250 life-sentenced prisoners and roughly 1,700 detainees for release at Ofer and Ketziot, with the ICRC facilitating exchanges.
• Trump and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will preside Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh over a signing summit with more than 20 leaders; Hamas will not attend and continues to reject disarmament terms.
• Large aid convoys are scaling up as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians return to devastated areas of Gaza City, with Egyptian media citing roughly 400 trucks Sunday and a daily cap of up to 600 agreed.
• About 200 U.S. troops have arrived in Israel to help monitor the truce and coordinate humanitarian logistics, as senior envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met families and officials in Tel Aviv.
