First video: Israeli hostages released by Hamas, taken by Red Cross under Trump's deal| Gaza

Published on Oct 13, 2025 12:33 pm IST

Red Cross vehicles were seen leaving Gaza City as Hamas released the first group of surviving Israeli hostages, marking a pivotal moment in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire led by President Trump. Under the historic agreement, all 20 living hostages are set to be freed, along with the bodies of 26 deceased and two more whose fate is unknown, while Israel will release nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. The exchanges represent a key step in ending two years of devastating war that left Gaza in ruins and triggered a humanitarian crisis across the Middle East. Attention now turns to the Sharm el-Sheikh peace summit in Egypt, where Trump, Egyptian President el-Sisi, and over 20 world leaders gather to finalize the next phases of the peace plan—including Gaza’s reconstruction, governance, and sustained regional security.
