Overview

  • Israel and the ICRC confirmed receipt of all 20 living hostages from Gaza, who were transferred to hospitals for medical evaluations.
  • Israel released 1,718 detainees held without charge and 250 long‑term prisoners, with returns to Gaza and the West Bank and 154 deported to Egypt.
  • Israeli police received four coffins believed to contain hostage remains for formal identification, with additional recoveries expected under the 72‑hour protocol.
  • World leaders convened in Egypt to sign guarantees and map next phases of the U.S.-mediated plan; President Trump urged no return to war in a Knesset address, and Netanyahu did not attend the summit.
  • OCHA reported real progress in Gaza relief operations, including the first cooking gas entry since March, while unresolved issues include Gaza’s governance, Hamas disarmament and the scope of any multinational force.
