Hamas Releases Israeli Hostages. In a shocking display, Hamas paraded released Israeli hostages on stage in Gaza before handing them over to the Red Cross. The dramatic footage shows Hamas militants, armed with Israeli weapons, escorting captives in Rafah as part of the final phase of the first hostage exchange deal. Among those released are Avera Mengistu, held since 2014, and Tal Shoham, who was abducted with his family during the October 7 attack. Four more hostages—Omer Shem-Tov, Eliya Cohen, Omer Wenkert, and Hisham Al-Sayed—are expected to be freed later in Nuseirat. The exchange takes place amid heightened tensions, with Israel set to release 602 Palestinian security prisoners.

Hamas Betrayed? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indefinitely postponed the release of Palestinian detainees, citing Hamas’ “humiliating” hostage handover ceremonies as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The decision comes after footage surfaced of released Israeli captives appearing to praise their captors and question the ongoing conflict. In the viral video, two Israeli hostages—who were not scheduled for release—made desperate pleas for Netanyahu to secure their freedom, warning that military pressure would lead to their deaths. With 63 Israelis still held in Gaza and 602 Palestinian prisoners awaiting release, tensions have escalated, throwing the fragile ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal into uncertainty.

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability.

Hezbollah has condemned Israel after Israeli fighter jets flew over the funeral procession of their leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in a dramatic and provocative show of force. The rare and highly charged incident occurred nearly five months after Nasrallah's death in an Israeli airstrike, sparking outrage among Hezbollah supporters. As thousands gathered in Beirut to pay their respects to the slain leader, the sound of Israeli F-16s flying overhead briefly drowned out the chants of the mourners.
