With Hamas freeing the last 20 living Israeli hostages and Israel releasing some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, President Trump proclaimed an ‘end’ to the war, but big questions about Gaza’s future remain.
Under the first phase of the new cease-fire deal, all of the living hostages in Gaza are expected to be released in the next 24 hours in exchange for about 2,000 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
At a Tel Aviv rally, Israelis thanked President Trump for the cease-fire that paved the way for release of the remaining hostages. They were less enthused about their own country’s leader.
A banner in Hostages Square, Tel Aviv, on Saturday shows the 48 hostages still in Gaza, including those who are believed to have died or whose fate is uncertain.
