Hostages reunited with families as Trump greeted with cheers in Israeli parliament | BBC News

The last 20 living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are now back in Israel after more than two years in captivity.

Hamas has yet to hand over the remains of up to 28 deceased hostages – the hostage families’ group says only four bodies will be released today.

Israel has released almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Israeli detention as part of the ceasefire deal.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is heading to Egypt for a peace summit with world leaders after addressing Israel’s parliament.

The US president told Israeli lawmakers it’s "the historic dawn of a new Middle East" and says Hamas would be disarmed – but this is yet to be negotiated and agreed.
