Israel and Hamas have come to a cease-fire agreement that will see the release of dozens of Israeli hostages 15 months after the deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attack, according to three U.S. officials, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
“We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly,” President-elect Donald Trump added on Truth Social.
The agreement, which still needs to be approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinets, will see Hamas release dozens of hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners during the first phase of the cease-fire, per The AP. This
