Israel and Hamas have agreed to pause fighting in Gaza to release the remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, adopting parts of a peace plan backed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

In Tel Aviv, families of the remaining hostages popped Champagne and cried tears of joy when the deal was announced.
