Under a ceasefire deal pushed for by US President Donald Trump, Hamas was to release the 47 remaining hostages -- living and dead -- in exchange for 250 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, along with 1,700 Gazans detained since the latest conflict broke out in October 2023. Buses with the International Red Cross emblem on them move towards the eastern Gaza Strip from Khan Yunis in southern Gaza on October 13, 2025, ahead of the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas since the October 7 attacks two years ago.
