I think this is a big development. Potentially marking an end to the scale of this war.
What we know:
TRUMP TO EGYPT: President Donald Trump has arrived in Egypt after a lengthy and triumphal address to Israel's parliament, the Knesset.
HOSTAGES TRANSFERRED: All 20 of the surviving hostages in Gaza have now been released.
TO BE RELEASED: While the remains of other hostages were also expected to be transferred, the group representing families of abductees announced that "only four bodies" out of 28 held by Hamas would be heading back today.
PALESTINIAN PRISONERS: Hamas had pledged to release the hostages by today in exchange for 250 prisoners serving life sentences and more than 1,700 Palestinians detained after the group’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.
WORLD LEADERS GATHER: Aside from Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are among 20 heads of state attending today’s summit in Egypt.
SCALE OF WAR: More than 67,000 people have been killed in Israel’s offensive on Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Large swaths of the enclave have been destroyed, and famine has been declared in part of northern Gaza. Around 1,200 people were killed and about 250 were taken hostage in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
