Donald Trump landed in Israel after brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas freed the 20 remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, a milestone in efforts to end the two-year war in the enclave.
The moves came ahead of a “peace summit” in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, that will be attended by leaders including Mr Trump and Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority.

The swap marks the first step in Donald Trump’s new plan to end the war unveiled earlier this month after months of failed peace efforts.
The conflict began with Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel in 2023.
The hostages are due to be exchanged for about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
