U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday traveled to Israel and Egypt to celebrate the beginning of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, along with the return of the 20 remaining living hostages and the release of some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Shadi Abu Sido said his world shattered in Israeli detention when guards told him his wife and two children had been killed in the Gaza war. “I got hysterical,” the Gaza Palestinian photographer said.

Turkey is set to deploy personnel into Gaza to aid the emergency response and conduct search and rescue missions, including for deceased Israeli hostages, as part of the US-backed ceasefire deal.

The disturbing images are part of a long pattern of punishment meted out to suspected collaborators, according to an Israeli hostage negotiator.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would consider allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume military action in Gaza if Hamas refuses to uphold its end of the ceasefire deal,

Netanyahu tells CBS News he's giving "peace a chance," but despite Trump's assertion the war is over, Israel's leader talks of change over generations.

The ceasefire on Wednesday was largely holding, although Hamas described Israeli attacks in Gaza as violations of the agreement.

Under Gaza’s ceasefire deal, Israel freed dozens of doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical personnel seized during raids on hospitals. Despite widespread calls for his release, Abu Safiya was not among the hundreds of Palestinian detainees and prisoners freed Monday in exchange for 20 hostages held by Hamas.
