Trump has rescinded the Biden administration’s sanctions against Israelis accused of violence in the territory.

Meanwhile on the ground in Gaza the ceasefire, which came into effect on January 19th, is holding. The first hostages have been released as have 90 Palestinian prisoners. Aid has begun to flow in. The idf has begun to dismantle some of its bases. Displaced Gazans are returning to the rubble of their homes.

At least 10 people have been killed in the raids, and more than 40 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Dozens have been arrested, Palestinian officials told the Wafa news agency.

U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy said on Wednesday he would travel to the region to be part of what he described as an inspection team deployed in and along the Gaza Strip to ensure ceasefire compliance.

Just one day into the job, President DONALD TRUMP’s new foreign policy team faces the daunting task of trying to help cement a permanent end to the war in Gaza and finding a way to secure the release of dozens of hostages still in Hamas captivity.
