"The skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace," Trump told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, saying a "long nightmare" for both Israelis and Palestinians was over. Picture: PA

Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza on Monday under a ceasefire deal and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees, as US president Donald Trump told Israel's parliament that peace had arrived in the Holy Land.

The Israeli military said it had received all hostages confirmed to be alive, after their transfer from Gaza by the Red Cross.
