Netanyahu indica que Israel está "preparado y listo" para recibir a los rehenes de Gaza a un día del canje previsto
CIUDAD DE GAZA, 12/10/2025.- Las ruinas y escombros que inundan este domingo las calles de la ciudad de Gaza ofrecen un panorama desolador a las miles de personas que, desde el exilio en el sur del enclave, regresan a sus hogares con la esperanza de encontrar en pie algún vestigio de su vida antes de la ofensiva israelí.

Overview

  • Israel says 48 captives remain from Gaza, with about 20 alive, and announced that the ICRC will receive them early Monday before transfer to Israeli hospitals, with officials open to an earlier handover if Hamas is ready.
  • Israeli prison authorities moved Palestinians designated for release to Ofer and Ketziot, as the deal foresees freeing roughly 250 convicted prisoners plus about 1,700 detainees in exchange for the hostages.
  • COGAT reported more than 500 aid trucks entering Gaza as displaced residents streamed back to shattered neighborhoods, with UN-linked plans to reopen 145 food distribution points and local officials citing returns in the hundreds of thousands.
  • Hamas said it will begin releasing captives Monday, asserted it will not participate in governing Gaza after the war, and rejected disarmament proposals, while about 200 U.S. troops arrived to help stand up a coordination center supporting the truce and aid flow.
  • Egypt confirmed a Monday summit in Sharm el-Sheikh chaired by President Donald Trump and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi with more than 20 leaders, including UN Secretary-General António Guterres, to endorse security arrangements and the broader plan.
