Israel and Hamas carried out a major exchange under a US-brokered peace deal, freeing all living Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Emotional scenes unfolded in Israel and Gaza as families reunited after two years of war. US President Donald Trump, arriving in Israel, called the ceasefire a “historic dawn in a new Middle East.” Later in Egypt, Trump and world leaders signed a declaration to secure lasting peace. The agreement faces challenges over troop withdrawal and Gaza’s future governance, but leaders hailed it as the first real step toward ending years of conflict and suffering. (PC: BBC)
