- Gaza ceasefire starts as IDF completes partial withdrawal; Hamas has 72 hours to return hostages

- Netanyahu: “Hamas never agreed to release all our hostages while we were deep inside the Gaza Strip. Hams agreed to a deal only after the knife was at its throat and only agreed when it was isolated."

-Netanyahu: "We will act to locate all the bodies of hostages as soon as possible - and bring them to burial in Israel"

- U.S. flags are being put up across Yerushalayim ahead of Trump's visit to Israel on Monday. 

- The IDF has completed its preparations for receiving the hostages returning to the country from the Gaza Strip

- American envoys Witkoff and Kushner visit the Western Wall. They are "Feeling blessed" about their part in reaching the agreement.

- IDF spokesperson: “On the morning of October 7, about two years ago, the most important contract with the citizens of Israel was made. Since then, led by the Southern Command, we have not stopped for a moment, and we will never stop. A brave generation of Israeli heroes stands firm, a shield, between the citizens of Israel and every enemy. This is an emotional moment for the people of Israel and for the IDF fighters and soldiers who fought and acted with courage over the past two years. Hams today is not the Hams of two years ago - Hams has been defeated everywhere we fought."

-Netanyahu: I believed that if we applied heavy military and diplomatic pressure, we could bring back all the hostages, and that is how we acted. It was not easy, and I withstood a lot of pressure - from inside and outside
