Thousands of pro Palestinian demonstrators marched in rallies coordinated by the Palestine Action Group across Australia on Sunday.

The marches came as the Gaza ceasefire held in its second day with tens of thousands of Palestinians returning to their neighborhoods Saturday and Israelis cheering Monday's expected release of remaining hostages.

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 Egyptian presidency, in a statement late Saturday, said U.S. President Donald Trump will co-chair a “peace summit” there on Monday on Gaza and the wider Middle East. Earlier, France confirmed that President Emmanuel Macron would visit Egypt on Monday.
