  The ceasefire, mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, aims to secure the release of 12 more Israeli hostages during its first 42-day phase, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP). Negotiations on the second stage of the ceasefire were set to begin on Monday, but there have been no details on the status of the talks.

  An official from Puntland, a semi-autonomous state in Somalia, has rejected a report by the Telegraph that suggested his state would welcome an Israeli plan to send Palestinians from Gaza there and was prepared to host them. On Thursday, the Telegraph reported that Israel was considering sending Palestinians from Gaza to Puntland, suggesting that the proposal had been welcomed by an official from the state.

  Israel and Hamas completed their fifth hostage-prisoner swap under a fragile Gaza ceasefire deal on Saturday, with the frail, disoriented appearance of the three freed Israelis causing dismay among their relatives, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP). Out of the 183 Palestinian prisoners and detainees released by Israel in return, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club advocacy group said seven required hospitalisation, decrying “brutality” and mistreatment in jail.

  Hamas in a statement accused Israel of “systematic assaults and mistreatment of our prisoners”, calling it “part of the policy of … the slow killing of prisoners”. The fifth exchange since the truce took effect last month comes as negotiations are set to begin on the next phase of the ceasefire, which should pave the way for a permanent end to the war.

  Saturday’s swap also follows remarks by US president Donald Trump suggesting the US should take over the Gaza Strip and clear out its inhabitants, sparking global outrage. Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami and Eli Sharabi, who were all seized by militants during Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack, “crossed the border into Israeli territory” on Saturday, the Israeli military said. With their return, 73 out of 251 hostages taken during the attack now remain in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.

The Hostage and Missing Families Forum urged the Israeli government on Friday to stick with the truce, even as US president Donald Trump’s comments raised questions about the future of the deal. “An entire nation demands to see the hostages return home,” the Israeli campaign group said in a statement. “Now is the time to ensure the agreement is completed – until the very last one,” it added.

  The international criminal court (ICC) condemned Trump’s executive order announcing sanctions against the court, accusing the US president of trying to “harm its independent and impartial judicial” work. “The court stands firmly by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world,” it said.

  The UK has “no plans” to impose similar sanctions and will “support the independence of the ICC”, a spokesperson for prime minister Keir Starmer said. The UK and the US “over a number of administrations have taken a different view on the ICC”, they added

  France, Germany and the Netherlands all spoke out against the sanctions. Dutch prime minister Dick Schoof said that, as the host of the court, the Netherlands had a “responsibility to guarantee the unhindered functioning of the criminal court at all times. We will keep doing that.”

  The UN also criticised the sanctions. “We deeply regret the individual sanctions announced yesterday against court personnel, and call for this measure to be reversed,” human rights office spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said.

  Trump’s order said the court had “engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel” and vowed to “impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC’s transgressions”.

Summary

Here’s a wrap-up of the day’s key events:

• The ceasefire, mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, aims to secure the release of 12 more Israeli hostages during its first 42-day phase, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP). Negotiations on the second stage of the ceasefire were set to begin on Monday, but there have been no details on the status of the talks.

• An official from Puntland, a semi-autonomous state in Somalia, has rejected a report by the Telegraph that suggested his state would welcome an Israeli plan to send Palestinians from Gaza there and was prepared to host them. On Thursday, the Telegraph reported that Israel was considering sending Palestinians from Gaza to Puntland, suggesting that the proposal had been welcomed by an official from the state.

• Israel and Hamas completed their fifth hostage-prisoner swap under a fragile Gaza ceasefire deal on Saturday, with the frail, disoriented appearance of the three freed Israelis causing dismay among their relatives, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP). Out of the 183 Palestinian prisoners and detainees released by Israel in return, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club advocacy group said seven required hospitalisation, decrying “brutality” and mistreatment in jail.

• Hamas in a statement accused Israel of “systematic assaults and mistreatment of our prisoners”, calling it “part of the policy of … the slow killing of prisoners”. The fifth exchange since the truce took effect last month comes as negotiations are set to begin on the next phase of the ceasefire, which should pave the way for a permanent end to the war.

• Saturday’s swap also follows remarks by US president Donald Trump suggesting the US should take over the Gaza Strip and clear out its inhabitants, sparking global outrage. Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami and Eli Sharabi, who were all seized by militants during Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack, “crossed the border into Israeli territory” on Saturday, the Israeli military said. With their return, 73 out of 251 hostages taken during the attack now remain in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.

Thousands of Syrians are in limbo as the UK Home Office freezes asylum claims.

The Guardian’s Lizzie Dearden reports:

More than 6,000 Syrians in Britain are stuck in limbo because of an ongoing freeze on their asylum claims, two months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The Home Office announced a “pause” on Syrian asylum seekers’ claims on 9 December, the day after rebels swept into Damascus, saying that it needed to “assess the current situation”.

The situation remains deeply uncertain. Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, was recently named president, but his forces are still declared a terrorist group by the UK and other countries.

At least 6,600 Syrian asylum applications, each of which can include more than one person, are frozen in the UK system pending an initial decision and more claims are expected from those arriving on small boats, according to analysis by the Observer of official figures. Leading charities and lawyers have called for the government to resolve the situation.

Palestinians are finding a moment of respite in going out to dinner or relaxing in cafes as the narrow strip decimated by Israeli forces seeks to rebuild.

The Guardian’s Malak A Tantesh and Jason Burke report:

It is a Thursday night in Khan Younis and business is good at the al-Sawafiri restaurant. Not far away, entire blocks have been reduced to rubble, but here, in this small corner of the city in the southern Gaza Strip, the damage is less extensive. Raed al-Sawafiri, the owner and manager, stands in front of chicken rotating on a grill and smiles. Every one of his plastic tables is occupied.

Al-Sawafiri had no experience of the restaurant trade until very recently. Displaced 10 times during the 16-month conflict in Gaza, the 23-year-old opened his first establishment in Rafah, the southernmost city in the territory, early this year, after sourcing old equipment and sending his father to the border with Egypt to buy meat.

“The response from people was amazing, but we had to flee the [Israeli] attack on Rafah and move to the coast. Finally, I decided to try again in Khan Younis and, thanks be to God, we have had success,” he said.

The ceasefire, mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, aims to secure the release of 12 more Israeli hostages during its first 42-day phase, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Negotiations on the second stage of the ceasefire were set to begin on Monday, but there have been no details on the status of the talks.

The Hostage and Missing Families Forum urged the Israeli government on Friday to stick with the truce, even as US president Donald Trump’s comments raised questions about the future of the deal. “An entire nation demands to see the hostages return home,” the Israeli campaign group said in a statement. “Now is the time to ensure the agreement is completed – until the very last one,” it added.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that after Saturday’s swap, an Israeli delegation would head to Doha for further talks.

Three male Israeli hostages were released by Hamas after 491 days of captivity in Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel.

Or Levy, Eli Sharabi and Ohad Ben Ami appeared emaciated and were taken to hospital upon arrival in Israel. In exchange for the three hostages, Israel released 183 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.

An official from Puntland, a semi-autonomous state in Somalia, has rejected a report by the Telegraph that suggested his state would welcome an Israeli plan to send Palestinians from Gaza there and was prepared to host them.

On Thursday, the Telegraph reported that Israel was considering sending Palestinians from Gaza to Puntland, suggesting that the proposal had been welcomed by an official from the state. The report comes after US president Donald Trump put forward a proposal saying he wanted the US to occupy, ethnically cleanse, and develop the territory for commercial purposes.

Amit Segal, an Israeli journalist writing for Channel 12, also stated that Trump was considering Morocco, Puntland, and Somaliland – a self-declared republic in northern Somalia – as potential places for people from Gaza.

The Telegraph quoted Yacob Mohamed Abdalla, Puntland’s deputy information minister, as saying that authorities in Puntland would be open to the idea, provided the Palestinians moved voluntarily. “There is no reason to deport someone from their country to another without that person choosing to move,” Abdalla was quoted as saying.

However, in a social media post on Friday, Abdalla claimed his views had been “misrepresented” in the interview. He added that he had never said Puntland was “prepared to host Palestinian refugees” and “categorically” rejected the claims made in the article. “PLand stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people’s just aspirations in line with ILow,” he said.

Summary of the day’s events so far

• Israel and Hamas completed their fifth hostage-prisoner swap under a fragile Gaza ceasefire deal on Saturday, with the frail, disoriented appearance of the three freed Israelis causing dismay among their relatives, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).

• Out of the 183 Palestinian prisoners and detainees released by Israel in return, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club advocacy group said seven required hospitalisation, decrying “brutality” and mistreatment in jail.

• Hamas in a statement accused Israel of “systematic assaults and mistreatment of our prisoners”, calling it “part of the policy of … the slow killing of prisoners”.

• The fifth exchange since the truce took effect last month comes as negotiations are set to begin on the next phase of the ceasefire, which should pave the way for a permanent end to the war.

• Saturday’s swap also follows remarks by US president Donald Trump suggesting the US should take over the Gaza Strip and clear out its inhabitants, sparking global outrage.

• Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami and Eli Sharabi, who were all seized by militants during Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack, “crossed the border into Israeli territory” on Saturday, the Israeli military said. With their return, 73 out of 251 hostages taken during the attack now remain in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.

• Jubilant crowds in Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv cheered as they watched live footage of the three hostages, flanked by masked gunmen, brought on stage in Deir al-Balah before being handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). But the joy at their release was quickly overtaken by concern for their condition, with all three appearing thin and pale.

• Sharabi’s cousin Yochi Sardinayof said “he doesn’t look well”. “I’m sure he will now receive the right treatment and he will get stronger … He has an amazing family, and we will all be there for him.”

• The choreographed handover included forced statements from the three on stage, in which they stated support for finalising the next phases of the Israel-Hamas truce. The “disturbing images” from Gaza show that “we must get them all out”, said the Hostages and Missing Families Forum campaign group.

• The office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose dejected-looking portrait appeared on a banner at the Deir al-Balah handover site, said the images out of Gaza were “shocking”.

• Israel’s president Isaac Herzog denounced the treatment of the hostages, who were paraded on stage “after 491 days of hell, starved, emaciated and pained” and “exploited in a cynical and cruel spectacle”.

• The ICRC, which is facilitating ongoing hostage-prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas under the Gaza ceasefire deal, called on Saturday for future swaps to be held in “private”.

• “The ICRC is increasingly concerned about the conditions surrounding release operations. We strongly urge all parties, including the mediators, to take responsibility to ensure that future releases are dignified and private,” the ICRC said in a statement after it completed the fifth exchange.

Israel prison authorities confirm 183 Palestinian prisoners freed on Saturday

Israel’s Prison Service confirmed it had released 183 Palestinian prisoners and detainees on Saturday during the fifth exchange of the Gaza ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel.

It said in a statement that “183 terrorists were transferred from several prisons across the country”, before they “were released” to the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.

In the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, seat of the Palestinian Authority, relatives and supporters gathered to welcome those released by Israel, embracing them and cheering as they stepped off the bus that brought them from nearby Ofer prison.

Out of the 183 Palestinians released by Israel on Satuday, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club advocacy group said seven required hospitalisation, decrying “brutality” and mistreatment in jail.

Hamas in a statement accused Israel of “systematic assaults and mistreatment of our prisoners”, calling it “part of the policy of … the slow killing of prisoners”.

Red Cross calls for next hostage-prisoner swap to be held in ‘private’

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which is facilitating ongoing hostage-prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas under the Gaza ceasefire deal, called on Saturday for future swaps to be held in “private”.

“The ICRC is increasingly concerned about the conditions surrounding release operations. We strongly urge all parties, including the mediators, to take responsibility to ensure that future releases are dignified and private,” the ICRC said in a statement after it completed the fifth exchange earlier on Saturday, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).

At least 48,181 Palestinians killed in war with Israel, says Gaza health ministry

The Gaza health ministry said on Saturday that at least 48,181 people had been killed in the Palestinian territory in the war with Israel, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Hamas and Israel have agreed a ceasefire, which came into effect on 19 January and ushered in a fragile calm. But the confirmed number of dead published by the Gaza health ministry has continued to rise daily as bodies are discovered under the rubble, victims are identified or people die from injuries sustained earlier in the war.

Over the last 48 hours, 26 deaths have been recorded and more than 570 earlier deaths had been confirmed, according to the ministry. It said a total of 111,638 people have been injured during the war, which began in October 2023. The ministry’s figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians

Israel has repeatedly cast doubt on the ministry’s figures, which the United Nations considers reliable.

A study published in early January in the British medical journal the Lancet estimated the death toll in Gaza due to hostilities during the first nine months of the was about 40% higher than the figures recorded by the Gaza health ministry.

AFP is unable to independently verify the death toll.

Here are some more images from today on the newswires:

Hamas has no desire to return to war with Israel, a senior official with the Palestinian group told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Saturday, nearly three weeks into a fragile ceasefire that halted fighting in Gaza.

“Returning to war is certainly not our wish nor our decision,” Hamas political bureau member Basem Naim said in an interview.

According to AFP’s interview, Naim urged Arab countries not to recognise Israel, as Saudi Arabia is courted by the US to join a small group of its neighbours in normalising ties.

“We call on them not to normalise,” Naim told AFP. “We call on all Arab countries, both those currently normalising and those considering normalisation, to step back from this.”
