Netanyahu says the Rafah border crossing will remain closed “until further notice,” adding that it opening depends on Hamas fulfilling its obligations, particularly the return of the bodies of dead captives as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.

Families of many of the Palestinian prisoners being released by Israel under an exchange deal say they were shocked after they learned their loved ones would be deported to third countries.

Nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including resistance fighters who spend decades behind bars, walked free on Monday under a ceasefire deal between Hamas and the Israeli regime.

Hamas says it made all efforts to safeguard the lives of captives in Gaza, despite the Israeli military’s attempts to kill them.

Hamas says it has submitted a list of Palestinian prisoners it wants released in exchange for freeing Israeli captives.

Trump’s 20-point Gaza ‘plan’ demands Hamas disarm, release captives, and relinquish governance, while offering no sovereignty or occupation end, prioritizing Israeli interests and long-term goals.
