Senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya has said that the Palestinian group has been assured by Trump as well as mediators that the war in Gaza is over.

Al-Hayya said Hamas was serious about returning the bodies of all captives, as required under the ceasefire agreement, but added that the group was finding it very difficult to retrieve the bodies.

Al-Hayya said Hamas also hoped that aid into Gaza would increase to meet the needs of the population there.
