Overview

• Hamas says it will begin releasing 48 hostages Monday morning, with Israel set to free roughly 250 long‑sentence prisoners and about 1,700 detainees held during the war.
• President Trump is scheduled to speak at the Knesset, meet hostage families, then co‑chair a Sharm el‑Sheikh summit with Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al‑Sissi and more than 20 leaders including Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer and UN chief António Guterres.
• Israeli forces have pulled back from parts of Gaza under the US plan as the truce, in effect since Friday, continues to hold.
• Humanitarian shifts are accelerating, with Gaza civil defense reporting over 500,000 displaced people returning north and UN agencies preparing larger food, medical and shelter deliveries.
• Key second‑phase issues remain contentious, with Hamas rejecting disarmament or expulsion proposals, stating it will negotiate through mediators; Hamas will not attend the summit and Benjamin Netanyahu’s participation has not been confirmed.
