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. However, uncertainty looms over the next phase of negotiations, as both sides trade accusations over ceasefire violations.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has lifted the pause on the supply of deadly MK-84 bombs to Israel, allowing the shipment of 2,000-pound munitions to reach Tel Aviv. The bombs, known for their devastating impact, were previously withheld by the Biden administration due to concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza. The MK-84, used by the U.S. Air Force, is a powerful explosive designed to destroy fortified targets, with a high blast radius and lethal shrapnel effect. The move underscores the strong U.S.-Israel alliance while raising concerns over its impact on the ongoing conflict.

Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ Plan has sparked massive outrage in the Muslim World. U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to turn Gaza into a Middle Eastern ‘Riviera’ has triggered a major Arab summit in Saudi Arabia. Leaders from Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and other Gulf nations are gathering to discuss a unified response to the proposal, which involves expelling Gaza’s Palestinian population. While Cairo has proposed an alternative reconstruction plan, divisions remain over who should govern Gaza post-war. As regional tensions escalate, the summit is expected to shape the future of Gaza and broader Middle East geopolitics.

Hamas released three Israeli hostages in a highly orchestrated event but added a sinister twist by forcing hostage Iair Horn to hold an hourglass above a photo of captive Matan Zangauker, sending a chilling message that “time is running out.” The psychological stunt, widely condemned as barbaric, overshadowed the release of the hostages—Argentine-Israeli Iair Horn, Russian-Israeli Sasha Trupanov, and American-Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen. The men were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza before being transferred to Israeli authorities. Israeli commentators have slammed the act as another form of psychological warfare by Hamas, aimed at tormenting families still waiting for their loved ones to return.
