Monday’s release of the last 20 living Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees marks a pivotal moment in the war in Gaza , though it’s unclear whether it signals the end of conflict.

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war appears to be holding even as complex issues remained ahead.

Israel delayed aid into Gaza and kept the enclave's border shut on Tuesday, while re-emergent Hamas fighters demonstrated their grip by executing men in the street, darkening the outlook for U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war.

Israel says it is halving the number of humanitarian aid trucks allowed into Gaza, citing frustration over the slower-than-hoped return of deceased hostages.

The tenuous ceasefire in Gaza is holding after the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners and detainees, but uncertainties remain.

Israeli officials said Israel had decided to restrict aid and delay plans to open the southern border crossing to Egypt because Hamas had violated the ceasefire deal by failing to turnover the bodies of hostages who had died after being captured in Hamas's invasion of Israel in October 2023.

As Israel and Hamas implement the first phase of a Gaza peace plan, questions remain unanswered over what comes next.

Follow live updates as Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners are released. Presidents Trump and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi are expected to meet with other leaders in Egypt to discuss Gaza’s future.

Israel will restrict aid into Gaza and delay plans to open the Rafah border crossing from Egypt at least until after Wednesday, reports say.
