"Israeli troops pulled back under the first phase of a U.S.-brokered agreement reached this week to end the war, which has killed tens of thousands of people and left much of the enclave in ruins. U.S. President Donald Trump will join the leaders of more than 20 countries in Egypt on Monday for an international summit aimed at finalising permanent peace terms, a spokesperson for Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said. The summit will take place in the Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh."
"'My house, which I built 40 years ago, was gone in a moment,' said Ahmed al-Jabari, as he stood in the wreckage of a Gaza City street. 'I'm happy that there is no blood, no killing (but) where will we go? Will we live 20 years in a tent?' In Israel, as dark fell, tens of thousands of people gathered in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv that was filled with joyous cheers, after two years of protests dominated by anger and heartbreak."
Israeli forces pulled back under the first phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement, and remaining Israeli hostages are expected to be released by Monday noon. U.S. President Donald Trump was scheduled to join leaders from over 20 countries in Sharm el-Sheikh for an international summit aimed at finalising permanent peace terms. Many Gazans returned to find homes reduced to rubble and widespread destruction across the enclave. Survivors expressed relief that the killing stopped but voiced urgent concerns about displacement and long-term shelter. In Tel Aviv, tens of thousands gathered in Hostages Square to celebrate and express emotional release after years of protests and suffering.
