Hamas has agreed to release all Israeli hostages, both living and deceased, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed 20-point Gaza peace plan. The group has also expressed willingness to engage in discussions on a ceasefire and administrative handover. Following Hamas’s positive response, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is ready to implement the first phase of Trump’s plan, aimed at immediately freeing all hostages. Israel emphasized cooperation with the U.S. to end the conflict in line with its policies, although the statement did not reference Trump’s call to halt deadly bombing in Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump urged Israel to stop airstrikes to ensure the safe release of hostages and expressed optimism about Hamas’s readiness for long-term peace. Detailed discussions on a ceasefire are underway, with the broader goal of achieving lasting peace across the Middle East.
