Seven Israeli hostages have been freed in Gaza and are now with the Israeli military, the IDF confirms.
Hamas has released a list of the 20 living hostages being freed today. They have been held in Gaza since the 7 October attacks in 2023.
In exchange for the hostages, Israel will release 250 Palestinian prisoners and more than 1,700 detainees.
Donald Trump is expected to arrive in Israel soon – he will later head to Egypt for a summit attended by around 20 world leaders.
On his way to the region, Trump declared the “war is over” in Gaza – although the next phases in the Israel-Hamas deal still need to be negotiated.
