GAZA/JERUSALEM/UNITED NATIONS/ANKARA - Hamas announced Monday that it had handed over 13 more hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza, marking the release of the last remaining living hostages held by the group.

The first batch of seven Israeli hostages was released earlier in the day as part of a large-scale prisoner swap mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with the ICRC facilitating their handover to the Israeli side.

The seven hostages were identified by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office as a soldier captured from his tank position and six civilians who were taken by Hamas militants from communities near Gaza and at the Nova Music Festival on Oct 7, 2023.

Netanyahu's office said earlier that the government is "committed to bringing back all the hostages held by the enemy and will act to achieve this mission with determination and perseverance."

Another batch of the bodies of deceased hostages is also expected later on Monday, along with the release of about 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners from Israeli prisons as part of the ceasefire deal.

Crowds gathering at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv burst into cheers and applause as the names of the first batch of hostages were displayed on large screens. Many waved Israeli flags adorned with yellow ribbons, a symbol of solidarity with the hostages, chanting, "Bring all of them home -- now!"

Israel's health authorities had been informed by the Red Cross that all seven hostages were in reasonable medical condition.

Red Cross vehicles arrived at the Ofer Prison near Ramallah, from where about 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners would be released later on Monday as part of the swap.

US President Donald Trump arrived in Israel on Monday morning. During his brief visit, he will address the Israeli parliament and meet Netanyahu and hostage families.

Following the visit, Trump is expected to depart for an international summit in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheik, which is set to start on Monday to consolidate the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and advance a broader Middle East process. 

Israel's military campaign 'not over'

Netanyahu said Sunday that the country's military campaign "is not over," on the eve of the release of all living Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian detainees under the next stage of the newly implemented Gaza ceasefire with Hamas.

In a televised address, Netanyahu hailed the planned release of the 20 remaining living hostages as a "historic event."

"Wherever we fought, we won," he said. "But the campaign is not over yet," he added, without giving further details.

He said Israel still faces "very big security challenges" ahead. "Some of our enemies are trying to regroup," he warned, vowing to ensure Israel's security.

Earlier in the day, Israel's military chief Eyal Zamir said that the country had achieved a "victory over Hamas." In a broadcast statement, Zamir said the victory came through a combination of sustained military pressure and diplomatic efforts.

Zamir added that Israel remains "in the midst of a multi-front war." He said the military "will continue to act in order to shape a security reality that ensures the Gaza Strip no longer poses a threat to the State of Israel and its civilians. Through our operations, we are reshaping the Middle East and our security strategy for the years ahead."

UN: Humanitarian scale-up 

The UN humanitarian scale-up in the Gaza Strip is well underway, with cooking gas entering Gaza for the first time since March, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Sunday.

More tents for displaced families, frozen meat, fresh fruit, flour and medicines crossed into Gaza throughout the day on Sunday, OCHA said in a press release.

The United Nations and its partners distributed hundreds of thousands of hot meals and bread bundles, both in the south and the north, the office said.

OCHA said it has secured Israeli approval for more aid to move forward, bringing the amount in its cleared pipeline to 190,000 metric tonnes, including food, shelter items, medicine and other supplies.

"This is just the beginning," the office said, adding that as part of its plan for the first 60 days of the ceasefire in Gaza, the United Nations and its partners will expand the scale and scope of its operations to deliver life-saving aid and services to virtually everyone across Gaza.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said that in the first 60 days of the ceasefire, humanitarians aim to increase the pipeline of supplies to hundreds of trucks every day, with supplies of 170,000 metric tonnes -- food, medicine and other supplies -- in place.

He said the United Nations will scale up the provision of food across Gaza to reach 2.1 million people who need food aid and around 500,000 people who need nutrition; restore the health system, including reestablishing community-level disease surveillance; target 1.4 million people with water and sanitation services; carry out a massive scale-up in shelter provision; and reopen temporary learning spaces to provide activities for 700,000 school-aged children.

The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas entered into effect on Friday, following three days of intensive negotiations in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, between the two sides mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Turkiye and the United States.

Gaza peace summit in Egypt

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will attend a Gaza peace summit to be held in Egypt's Red Sea resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh on Monday, according to his office on Sunday.

"Our president is scheduled to address the summit and also hold consultations with the leaders of the participating countries," Burhanettin Duran, head of the Directorate of Communications at the Turkish presidency, said in a post on the social platform X.

The Sharm El-Sheikh summit will finalize an agreement between Israel and Hamas, aimed at ending the war in Gaza, the Egyptian presidency announced in a statement on Saturday.
