Authorities in Israel and Gaza readied for a Monday deadline to swap Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees under a ceasefire that could end the two-year Gaza war. Hamas must release all living captives—48 are held, 20 believed alive—by noon local time, while an international taskforce seeks the remains of others. Donald Trump will address the Knesset and co-chair a Sharm el-Sheikh peace summit, saying the truce should hold. Aid deliveries are expected at 600 trucks a day, with UN coordination resuming. The US will base up to 200 troops in Israel to establish a stabilisation taskforce.
