• US President Donald Trump and several other world leaders signed a Gaza ceasefire deal during a summit in Egypt after Hamas freed all living hostages and Israel released Palestinian prisoners under the US-brokered agreement. Earlier in the day, Trump hailed a “dawn of a new Middle East” in remarks before the Israeli parliament.

• The 20 remaining living hostages in Gaza were returned to Israel earlier Monday after two years of war. Israeli authorities said Hamas handed over to the Red Cross four coffins with the remains of deceased hostages on Monday. All 250 Palestinian prisoners and more than 1,700 detainees from Gaza, held by Israel without charge since the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, have now been released.
