After securing a Middle East peace deal between Israel and Hamas, President Donald Trump is now focused on ending the Russia–Ukraine war.

Under the U.S. proposal, Hamas agreed to return the 20 living hostages kept in Gaza, along with the remains of another 28 people. Israel also agreed to withdraw to control roughly half of the enclave, and release 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after the attacks on October 7, 2023.

On October 7, 2023, Kibbutz Nir Oz was all but burned to ashes, with over a quarter of its residents murdered or abducted. On Monday, the community gathered to welcome loved ones back home.
