Hamas has published the names of twenty Israeli hostages who are set to be released today, marking a significant moment in the recent ceasefire agreement with Israel. The release follows months of negotiations and will see the hostages handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross before being reunited with their families at a military base.

The exchange is part of a broader deal that includes the release of approximately two thousand Palestinian prisoners and a planned withdrawal by the Israeli military. Israelis have gathered in anticipation of the hostages' return, with emotional scenes unfolding in Hostages Square.

President Donald Trump, credited for his role in brokering the agreement, is scheduled to arrive in Tel Aviv to witness the peace deal's implementation. He will also receive Israel's highest civilian honor in recognition of his efforts to secure the hostages' release.
