The Gaza ceasefire held in its second day as tens of thousands of Palestinians returned to their neighborhoods Saturday and Israelis cheered Monday's expected release of remaining hostages.

Israelis applauded U.S. President Donald Trump, and some booed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner addressed a weekly rally in Tel Aviv that many hoped would be the last.

Kushner said they would celebrate on Monday, when Israel’s military has said the 48 hostages still in Gaza would be freed.

The government believes around 20 remain alive. Kushner also noted the “suffering” in Gaza.

Israelis hugged and took selfies. Many waved U.S. flags.

About 200 U.S. troops arrived in Israel to monitor the ceasefire with Hamas.

They will set up a center to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance.

The World Food Program said it was ready to restore 145 food distribution points. Before Israel sealed off Gaza in March, U.N. agencies provided food at 400 distribution points.

Though the timeline remains unclear, Palestinians will be able to access food and aid at more locations than they could through the U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operated four locations after taking over distribution in May.

Some 170-thousand tonnes of food aid have been positioned in neighboring countries awaiting Israeli permission.

Questions remain about who will govern Gaza after Israeli troops gradually pull back and whether Hamas will disarm, as called for in the ceasefire agreement.
