Israel has confirmed the release of the final 20 hostages previously held in Gaza, marking a significant step in ongoing efforts to restore peace in the Middle East. According to Israeli military officials, the released hostages are now under full protection and receiving medical evaluation.
The announcement came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump declared an official end to the Gaza conflict, signaling what could be the beginning of a new diplomatic chapter in the region. President Trump arrived in Tel Aviv early this morning and addressed the Israeli parliament, reaffirming Washington’s commitment to supporting stability and rebuilding efforts.
Later this week, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to travel to Egypt for a multinational peace summit, which will bring together several world leaders and regional stakeholders. The summit aims to address the humanitarian crisis caused by months of fighting between Israel and Hamas, which left thousands displaced and communities severely affected.
In his remarks, Trump emphasized the importance of cooperation among nations in rebuilding trust and ensuring lasting peace. “The world must come together to rebuild and bring lasting peace to the Middle East,” he said during his address in Tel Aviv.
While details of the ceasefire agreement remain limited, U.S. and Egyptian diplomats say the summit will focus on providing humanitarian aid, facilitating reconstruction in Gaza, and securing long-term security arrangements for both Israelis and Palestinians.
The United States has expressed optimism that this renewed dialogue will pave the way for sustainable peace and stability across the region after years of conflict and mistrust.
