"US President Donald Trump admitted the Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't 'the easiest guy to deal with' - but 'that's what makes him great' - during his speech to the Knesset on Monday. Trump and his core team received huge applause in the parliament ahead of his speech. The US president is in Israel to address the Knesset and meet with Benjamin Netanyahu and the families of hostages, before flying to Egypt for the official signing of the peace deal. The final twenty living hostages were handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross earlier. The bodies of 28 deceased hostages will also be returned later, while around 1,700 Palestinians detained in Gaza since October 2023 and 250 more serving life sentences, will be freed under the deal. The first phase of the deal, agreed by Israel and Hamas last week, includes the ceasefire, the swapping of hostages and prisoners, and the Israeli military withdrawal to the 'yellow line' in Gaza. Subsequent phases will include the governance of Gaza, the future of Hamas and the reconstruction of the enclave. "
