Hamas has said it will begin releasing hostages tomorrow morning as part of the first phase of a peace plan to end the Gaza war.
Under the US-Brokered agreement, the militant group will hand over 48 captives, dead and alive, in exchange for around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
The US President Donald Trump is due to travel to the Middle East, where he will chair a Gaza peace summit alongside his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
The gathering will be held tomorrow and aims to enhance efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said he will attend, as has Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, his counterparts from Italy and Spain, Giorgia Miloni and Pedro Sanchez, and French President Emmanuel Macron.
There was no immediate word on whether Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be there while Hamas said it would not take part as it had "acted principally through... Qatari and Egyptian mediators" during talks, Hamas political bureau member Hossam Badran said.
