Since Friday's cease-fire took effect and the IDF pulled back, Palestinians displaced from the northern and central Gaza Strip have started returning en masse to their homes, as Hamas militants also return to the main streets to 'restore public order and prevent the spread of anarchy'

Yael Adar, mother of Tamir Adar, is finding it hard to celebrate the cease-fire and upcoming hostage release. Shaken by the uncertainty regarding the whereabouts of her son's body, she says her family will only be able to deal with the loss once his body is found

The former British prime minister is due to take a leading role in the Trump-led postwar administration of Gaza, and the Palestinian Authority is examining whether reconciliation with Hamas could advance or deter their involvement in running the Strip

When Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff mentioned Netanyahu's name at Hostage Square, the crowd's boos set off a political storm. Ministers called it disgraceful, while Israelis online called it democracy in action

According to the schedule released by the White House, Trump will give a speech at the Knesset before leaving to attend a high-level summit in Egypt along with other world leaders to discuss the cease-fire and next steps for the Gaza Strip

The concern in the Israeli army is that its forces could be targeted by terrorists in Gaza who might act independently against the group's mandate to adhere to the cease-fire, as the IDF's current goal is to focus on securing the expected release of the hostages on Monday morning

A military decree has brought the villages of Nabi Samwil, Beit Iksa and Khalaila under 'seam zone' rule, from which all Palestinians but local residents are banned. But actually, for 20 years a raft of edicts like this one have been harassing locals, who now fear for their fate

As Israelis prepare for a mix of celebration and mourning with the return of the hostages, living and dead, Palestinians face a deeper reckoning over their shattered national movement and the absence of any leadership or vision for what comes next

Representing Donald Trump at Tel Aviv's Hostage Square on Saturday evening, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were received with a warm embrace, while the mere mention of Netanyahu led to resounding boos. Perhaps it needs to be asked why the hostage families feel that the U.S. cares for and listens to them more than the Israeli government

The claim that this is foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Israel is, of course, idle nonsense. The fate of the Palestinian people is not an Israeli domestic matter, nor is it an Israeli matter at all. The world has not only a right to come to its aid, it has a duty to do so,

Now that the war is over, there are no more excuses. The time has come to establish a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7: this does not mean a committee for the sake of appearances. One that is legitimate, legal and binding

No transfer, no real estate, no new neighborhood in Gaza for Israeli police, no image of the last Hamas members raising a white flag. One could say that the agreement could have been signed in January 2024, but it simply wasn't attractive enough for all the parties

The end of the war means that Israel's method to date – apply military force to solve negotiating issues – has run its course. Henceforth, whatever disputes down the road about the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza or disarming Hamas will be negotiated

The rule is clear and simple: Americans don't much care when Israel harms Palestinians, but they do not allow Israel to endanger their regional or global interests or to dictate U.S. policy in the Middle East

The conditions to disarm Hamas do not exist in Gaza: There is no comprehensive agreement, no stable political structure, and Hamas has no real incentive to surrender its weapons. The Trump model has no basis in reality

Last year, Britain reported its second-worst yearr in modern times for antisemitism, with more than 3,500 incidents recorded, the Community Security Trust, which provides security to Jewish organisations across the country, said earlier this year

Footage shows olive harvesters threatened by settlers, who damaged their equipment. On Friday, settlers wounded seven people in an attack which the town's deputy mayor called the 'most violent, extreme and brutal' in recent years

The hostages are scheduled to return by Monday at 12:00 P.M. under the agreement, but Israeli officials estimate the release could be moved up. While political sources believe locating the bodies of all the deceased hostages in Gaza could take weeks or months, this is not expected to prevent the continued implementation of the deal

The UN estimates that 83 percent of all structures in Gaza City were damaged or destroyed, along with most of its crops and vegetation

Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, along with Kushner's wife Ivanka Trump, spoke at the rally as a hostage's father said police estimated some 500,000 Israelis had gathered. Families expecting their loved ones to be released by Monday said 'the fight is not over' until all 48 hostages are home

The New York Times also published intercepted messages from Hamas commanders on October 7, ordering militants to take hostages and broadcast the attacks to rally Arab support. While the memo did not explicitly mention killing or abducting Israelis, it instructed militants to set neighborhoods ablaze and film the atrocities to sow fear and destabilize Israel

'I'm really sorry, I can't take this pain anymore,' wrote Roei Shalev, who survived the October 7 massacre but lost his partner, Mapal Adam, who was murdered by Hamas. In the two years that have passed, Shalev is said to be the second survivor of the festival to take his own life

Private texts show Kirk defending ties to Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens amid growing backlash from Jewish donors, exposing his mounting frustration with Israel and its supporters. Some on the far-right have since floated conspiracies about Israel's involvement in his death

His entire body paralyzed, Michael Podolsky could only communicate with the world by blinking. Bedridden, immobile, but completely lucid, he set medical and legal precedents, deciding how and when his life would end

While girls their age across the world post videos of themselves opening gifts, girls in Gaza document a different reality – which includes hunger, loss and shortages. This documentation, beyond being a tool for collecting donations, also has a therapeutic effect

The struggle to repair petrochemical facilities and keep them in northern Israel's Haifa Bay is an example of a greater battle waged by the Trump administration on behalf of fossil fuel companies worldwide
