U.S. President Donald is scheduled early on Monday to arrive in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he’s expected to address the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, as the first steps of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continue to come into effect.
Israeli officials on Sunday said the remaining hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, were to be returned on Monday to Israel as part of a prisoner exchange. Twenty of those hostages are thought to be living, U.S. Vice President Vance told ABC News on Sunday.
Some Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has for two years waged a brutal and systematic war against Hamas, are returning home and beginning to reckon with the destruction caused by the conflict.
