The ongoing ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war appears to be holding, following the return of 20 living hostages to Israel and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Despite the jubilation surrounding these events, serious questions remain about the fate of 24 deceased hostages believed to be in Gaza. The Israeli military has confirmed the identities of two deceased hostages, highlighting the tragic circumstances of their captivity. As the situation unfolds, the health conditions of the released hostages and Palestinian prisoners are also under scrutiny. The ceasefire agreement, brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, raises further questions about the future governance of Gaza and the potential for Palestinian statehood. Additionally, the U.N. has estimated that $70 billion will be required for Gaza's reconstruction, emphasizing the long-term challenges ahead for peace and stability in the region.
