Hostage Release Marks Turning Point as Trump Declares Gaza War Over

        

                                         Jubilant people react at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, Israel.     

In a dramatic development, Hamas has handed over the last 20 surviving Israeli hostages to the Red Cross under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal, signaling what many hope is the end of two years of devastating conflict in Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed that all living captives were safely transferred and reunited with their families, sparking emotional scenes of relief and celebration in Tel Aviv’s “Hostage Square.”

As part of the agreement, Israel began releasing thousands of Palestinian prisoners, with buses carrying detainees arriving in Gaza and the West Bank. The exchange was hailed as a breakthrough in a war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and left Gaza in ruins.

President Donald Trump, who mediated the deal, proclaimed the moment as the “historic dawn of a new Middle East,” declaring in Jerusalem that “the war is over.” He is expected to continue peace talks in Egypt, where regional leaders will gather to discuss long-term stability and reconstruction efforts.

While the ceasefire has brought calm to the region for now, analysts caution that deep political and humanitarian challenges remain before a lasting peace can be secured.
