US President Donald Trump and several other world leaders signed the Gaza ceasefire agreement during the summit in Egypt. Immediately beforehand, Trump hailed “the historic dawn of a new Middle East” in a speech to the Israeli parliament. This came after Hamas returned the 20 hostages still alive in Gaza to Israel, under the US-brokered agreement. Hamas also handed over four coffins containing the remains of the deceased hostages, according to Israeli authorities. Approximately 250 Palestinian prisoners and over 1,700 Gaza detainees, held by Israel without charge, have now been released.
