Israel News LIVE Updates : Hours Before Trump’s Arrival, Hamas Handover 20 Hostages | Gaza
In a historic breakthrough amid the Gaza ceasefire, Hamas is set to hand over 20 living Israeli hostages held since the October 7, 2023, attacks—just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump’s scheduled arrival in Israel on October 13, 2025. Under the first phase of Trump’s 20-point peace plan, ratified last week, the release is expected early Monday morning local time, with hostages transferred via the International Committee of the Red Cross from multiple sites in Gaza. This exchange follows a 72-hour deadline from the ceasefire’s activation on October 10, marking the end of two years of war that has devastated Gaza and claimed over 1,200 Israeli lives initially. Trump, en route from the U.S., hailed the deal as proof the "war is over" and the Middle East will "normalize," before addressing Israel’s Knesset and joining a summit in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh with leaders from over 20 nations to discuss Gaza’s reconstruction and governance.
Israel will reciprocate by freeing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, while Hamas begins mobilizing fighters amid post-war uncertainties. Families and crowds in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square erupt in joy, tempered by the handover of 28 deceased hostages’ remains later today. Stay tuned for live updates as the world watches this pivotal moment toward lasting peace.
