Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Declares Gaza War Over as Ceasefire Triggers Hostage Release

Caption: Trump Declares Gaza War Over as Ceasefire Triggers Hostage Release. US President Donald Trump has announced that "the war is over" as he travels to Israel to oversee the release of hostages from Gaza under a new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said the truce would hold and a "Board of Peace" would be created to help rebuild Gaza, which he compared to a demolition site. The ceasefire, the first step in a 20-point peace plan brokered by Trump, began on Friday. Hamas is set to free 20 surviving hostages and the remains of 28 more, while Israel plans to release 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 detainees. Trump will address Israel's parliament before heading to an international summit in Egypt, where world leaders are expected to sign a document formally ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza faces catastrophic destruction, mass displacement, and a worsening humanitarian crisis as aid convoys struggle to meet urgent needs.
