Donald Trump announced the imminent release of ten more hostages from Gaza while advocating for a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire proposal entails the return of the hostages and remains, alongside Israel's compromise to release an unspecified number of prisoners. Reports indicate that the Mossad director visited Washington, seeking support for relocating Palestinians living in Gaza to various countries. Negotiations are ongoing, with Hamas expressing willingness for a temporary truce and conditions that could shift to a full deal if needed.
Ten more hostages will be released from Gaza very shortly, Donald Trump said at the White House Friday. The news comes as the president continues to push for a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The current Israel-Hamas ceasefire proposal includes terms calling for the return of 10 hostages, and the remains of 18 others. In exchange, Israel would be required to release an unspecified number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails.
Mossad chief David Barnea told Witkoff that Israel has discussed relocating Palestinians to Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya. Trump has boasted that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas would be forthcoming.
A spokesperson for the armed wing of Hamas told Reuters on Friday that the group favors reaching an interim truce in the Gaza war, but could revert to insisting on a full package deal if such an agreement is not reached in current negotiations.
