Overview

• Israel has begun transferring long‑term Palestinian prisoners, including lifers, to Ketziot and Ofer for release, while Hamas is expected to hand over the remaining Israeli hostages overnight between Sunday and Monday according to multiple reports.
• About 200 US personnel have arrived in Israel to help coordinate the truce and a proposed international stabilisation force, and CENTCOM says American troops will not deploy inside Gaza.
• Humanitarian deliveries have been authorized to resume and large numbers of displaced residents are returning, with UN stockpiles staged in Egypt and Jordan and Rafah expected to reopen for civilians this week.
• Hamas has mobilized roughly 7,000 members into policing roles and appointed new local governors, and it rejects foreign tutelage and total disarmament while seeking integration into Palestinian security structures.
• Leaders convene Monday in Sharm el Sheikh under Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi and President Donald Trump to endorse the deal and negotiate phase‑two details on disarmament, force mandate, and governance, as Israel maintains forces in parts of Gaza and warns violations could restart operations.
