Israel expects hostages to be released Monday morning, as Trump prepares for Middle East visit

Israel expects all 20 living hostages to be released together by Hamas on Monday morning

The bodies of the deceased hostages will be placed in coffins and brought to a forensic institute for identification, an Israeli government spokesperson says

Under the terms of the ceasefire deal – which came into effect on Friday – Hamas has until 12:00 local time (10:00 BST) tomorrow to return all Israeli hostages – here’s how we expect that to go

In exchange, Israel will free 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 detainees from Gaza, which includes nearly two dozen children
