ISRAEL-US-PALESTINIAN-CONFLICT-TRUMP

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (C) stands at the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, ahead of an address by the US president in Jerusalem on October 13, 2025. Hamas handed over the 20 surviving Israeli hostages on October 13 under a ceasefire agreement, as the US president and other world leaders geared up for a summit on Gaza. The releases are part of a ceasefire agreement brokered by the US president, with Israel due in return to free nearly 2,000 detainees held in its jails in exchange.
