Palestinians stream back to a shattered northern Gaza

As a fragile ceasefire held into a second week, Israel was told by Hamas that eight of the hostages to be freed during the deal’s first phase are dead

Before Monday’s announcement, Israel believed that at least 35 of the about 90 hostages taken in the Oct. 7 attack and still in Gaza were dead.

Government spokesman David Mencer told journalists that a list received overnight from Hamas on the status of the 33 hostages being freed under the ceasefire’s first phase showed eight were dead.

The woman in question, Arbel Yehoud is scheduled for release on Thursday.

So right now there is a cease-fire.. Will it last? If it doesn't last Trump will have more sway.
It it lasts, there isn't much Trump can do, except run his mouth and maybe threaten Egypt and Jordan with sanctions.
But Israel also has a major say in the all of this too.
Right now this seems to be more "hot air" from Trump.
