Hamas Releases Israeli Hostages as Trump Arrives for Peace Summit in Israel
Hamas released seven Israeli hostages as U.S. President Donald Trump landed in Israel for a peace summit.
The hostages were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza, with more expected to follow. This marks the first step in a significant prisoner exchange following a new ceasefire agreement brokered by Trump.
The release comes nearly two years after the 2023 attack by Hamas that led to the hostages being taken. Trump described the deal as part of a peace roadmap aimed at stabilizing Gaza.
Negotiations continue for the release of more hostages and Palestinian detainees.
