Displaced Palestinians return to north Gaza after hostage deal | BBC News

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are returning to north Gaza after Israel opened routes through the Netzarim Corridor.

Drone footage showed masses of people walking north along the coastal route, though people travelling in cars face days-long waits at checkpoints.

The Palestinians had been due to return north on Saturday, but they were held up by a row over an Israeli hostage, Arbel Yehud.

On Saturday, President Trump suggested a "clean out" of Gaza, with Palestinians resettled in Jordan and Egypt – the idea was quickly rejected by both countries, plus others in the region.
