Hamas has released all 20 living hostages into the custody of the Red Cross on Monday morning, as part of the ceasefire agreed to end the Israel-Hamas war.

The deal involves the exchange of the last 48 hostages held in Gaza by Hamas since 7 October 2023. Over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners are to be released by Israel.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump landed in Israel on Monday before addressing the Knesset, the country's parliament.

He will later head to Egypt to meet with other world leaders and discuss the US-proposed deal, which resulted in a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel and the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
