Hundreds of thousands of people have held a rally in Tel Aviv, ahead of the expected release of Israeli hostages by Hamas.
Addressing the crowds, US special envoy Steve Witkoff said the hostages "are coming home" and praised Donald Trump for making a Gaza ceasefire and hostage return deal possible.
In Gaza, Palestinian officials said about 500,000 people had returned to northern Gaza - which lies in ruins - in the past two days, following the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
Meanwhile Egypt confirmed it would host a summit on Monday to finalize an agreement aimed at ending the war.

(4,780 posts)Trump is not interested in the welfare of Israel nor Gaza. He's looking at a land grab for himself.
I wonder if the make up of the crowd is right wing.
