In Short:
– The Red Cross is collecting 20 Israeli hostages in Gaza under a ceasefire agreement facilitated by Trump.
– Israel will release nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees after the initial hostage handover amidst ongoing regional tensions.
The Red Cross has initiated an operation in the Gaza Strip to collect the first 20 surviving Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The effort marks the beginning phase of a ceasefire agreement aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict.
The framework for this deal was facilitated by U.S. President Donald Trump.As part of the agreement, Israel plans to release nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees from its prisons. Following the initial handover of hostages, 28 others — including 26 deceased and two unaccounted for — are expected to be addressed later.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will transport the released hostages to Israeli security forces, who will then return them to their families and take them to hospitals in central Israel.

In Israel, crowds have gathered near military installations, waving flags and displaying signs in support of the hostages. Reports indicate that armed members of Hamas have also gathered at transfer locations, awaiting the handover of hostages or the arrival of Palestinian prisoners.

Ongoing Uncertainty

The truce and exchange of hostages follow significant casualties in Gaza, with over 67,000 Palestinians reported killed and the conflict exacerbating regional tensions. The evolving political landscape, influenced by a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, has led to a complex situation.

A global summit in Egypt, involving more than 20 world leaders including Trump, aims to address the future of peace in the region. Yet, uncertainties remain regarding the governance of Gaza post-conflict and Hamas’s future, as they resist disarmament demands.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
