Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Enables Hostage Releases and Mass Return to Gaza

The fragile truce has facilitated the release of hostages and allowed displaced Palestinians to return to northern Gaza, but challenges remain for long-term peace.

• Israel revealed that eight hostages listed for release by Hamas are deceased, while 18 of the remaining 26 are confirmed alive.
• The ceasefire has allowed thousands of displaced Palestinians to return to northern Gaza, despite widespread destruction and uncertainty about their homes.
• Hamas has agreed to release additional hostages later this week, including an Israeli civilian and a female soldier, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
• The three-phase ceasefire aims to end the 15-month conflict, but disagreements over Gaza's future governance and security pose significant obstacles to lasting peace.
• Egypt, Jordan, and Palestinian leaders have rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to temporarily resettle Gaza's population outside the enclave.
