Overview

• Hamas says it will start handing over Israeli captives on Monday morning to the Red Cross, and Israel expects all 20 believed to be alive to arrive early in the day.
• Israel plans to free about 250 security prisoners and roughly 1,700 detainees only after hostages are confirmed on Israeli soil, with talks still tense over excluded high-profile figures such as Marwan Barghouti.
• President Donald Trump is due to meet hostage families and address the Knesset before co-chairing a Sharm el-Sheikh summit with Egypt that aims to rally international backing for the U.S.-brokered plan.
• Ceasefire redeployments have allowed hundreds of thousands of Gazans to return toward devastated neighborhoods as aid deliveries ramp up, with the U.N. noting expanded food, medical supplies and cooking gas.
• Key next steps remain unresolved, including Hamas disarmament, Gaza’s interim governance and Israel’s stated intent to move against remaining tunnel networks after the hostage phase.
