Hamas has carried out a mass execution in the streets of Gaza as part of a series of bloody reprisals following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from key urban areas.

Some Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has for two years waged a brutal and systematic war against Hamas, are returning home and beginning to reckon with the destruction caused by the conflict.

The IDF names two of the deceased hostages as Bipin Joshi and Guy Illouz, but is yet to name the other two. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization says it's scaling up operations in Gaza.

The Israeli military said its troops had opened fire to "remove the threat" of people approaching them across the "yellow line" where forces had retreated to under Trump's deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump, alongside leaders from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, signed the ‘The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity’ in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani faced criticism for his ceasefire statement that accused Israel of apartheid and occupation on Tuesday.

A fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas is stoking hopes for a surge in investment in the region, and the Middle East more broadly.
