- Israel has moved detainees and published a list of 250 prisoners to be freed alongside roughly 1,700 Gazans detained since 2023, bringing the total to nearly 2,000.
- President Donald Trump will address Israel's Knesset before co-chairing a Sharm el-Sheikh summit with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, joined by more than 20 leaders including the UN chief and European heads of government.
- The truce is holding for a third day as large numbers of displaced Palestinians return to devastated neighborhoods and agencies prepare major aid deliveries, with up to 600 trucks a day and 170,000 tonnes staged if access continues.
- Israel's defense minister says the military will move to destroy Hamas tunnel networks after the releases under a U.S.-led international mechanism, while Hamas signals it will not govern a transitional administration and rejects disarmament.
