The bulk of detainees, who were arrested in Gaza during the war because they were classified as 'illegal combatants' by the IDF, were transported back to the Strip with the assistance of the Red Cross. Most of the prisoners will be deported after their release

Trump was addressing a ceremony following the signing of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas at the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit in Egypt. He also invited PM Shehbaz to deliver a special address at the ceremony.

Under the ceasefire deal, Israel is due to release nearly 2,000 Palestinians held in its jails.
