US President Joe Biden says the guns in Gaza have gone silent under a ceasefire deal he outlined in May. Biden spoke during a visit to a church in North Charleston, South Carolina. Speaking of the hostages that were being released under the ceasefire, Biden said he had just received a call saying the three were being released. Although he stressed that it was early and it wasn't immediately clear whether they were out of Gaza, Biden said: They appear to be in good health.
