Red Cross starts operation to collect first Israeli hostages in Gaza amid ceasefire agreement with Hamas
– 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 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.

Could Trump’s Middle East peace deal reshape the global economy?
Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.
Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.
Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic breakthrough — a ceasefire and potential peace deal between Israel and Hamas — could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. The former U.S. president is eyeing economic reconstruction opportunities in the region, with energy, infrastructure, and trade set to benefit if stability holds.
Experts say the deal could also influence global oil prices, energy markets, and investment flows, as renewed peace opens the door to new development projects. But it could also trigger volatility if negotiations falter or regional rivalries reignite.
As Trump prepares for further talks with China on trade and critical minerals, economists are watching closely. Could this mark the beginning of a new era of economic détente — or the start of another global power struggle centred around strategic resources?

Australia rushes to finalise billion-dollar minerals deal with the U.S.
Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.
Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.
Australia is racing to secure a landmark critical minerals deal with the United States ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump. The agreement, worth an estimated $1.2 billion, aims to strengthen supply chains and reduce both nations’ reliance on China’s mineral dominance.
The deal would see Australia establish a strategic reserve of rare earths, backed by U.S. investment and government funding. Australian miners are being consulted on potential price floors and financing models that could redefine the future of the country’s resources sector.
However, questions remain over the economic risks. Analysts warn that introducing price controls and heavy government intervention could have unintended consequences, especially if China retaliates with tariffs or production cuts. The deal could reshape global competition for critical minerals essential to defence, energy, and technology industries.
