Trump announces hostage deal they may be released by Sukkos

- Trump: After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas. When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, STAY TUNED!

- Netanyahu: I’m hopeful we’ll see return of all hostages in next few days, even during Sukkot

- Netanyahu: The US and Israel will limit the negotiations to a few days. Afterwards, Hams will be dismantled either militarily or by their oAirport.

- US President Donald Trump posts a photo from the rally earlier tonight at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv urging the government to close the deal he proposed for ending the Gaza war and returning all the hostages.

The photo shows the crowd from above, holding a banner that reads: “It’s now or never.”

- Netanyahu: I coordinated with President Trump and his team a strategic move that resulted in Hamas being isolated instead of Israel.

- President Trump: I appreciate that Israel temporarily stopped the bombings in order to give the hostage release and peace deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or all bets will be off everything will be canceled. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let's get it done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!

- President Trump, with FULL coordination with PM Netanyahu, announced that Hamas will release all hostages within the next few days, Israel has halted the operation in Gaza, and a team to discuss the release’s technical details will arrive in Egypt on Monday

- According to Egyptian sources, in the negotiations in Cairo on Monday, Witkoff, Kushner, Ron Dermer, the head of the Shin Bet, and a high-level security delegation will participate, and practical and on-the-ground arrangements will be determined for the implementation of the first phase of the Trump plan

Ceasing the operation to conquer the city of Gaza - further details:

1. Under the Chief of Staff's instructions, the IDF remains holding the lines captured so far in the city of Gaza - there is no forward advance of conquest, nor any retreat to rear lines. The three maneuvering divisions in the city of Gaza - are halted in place.

2. The IDF has strengthened efforts to defend the forces on the ground - and allocated additional forces of aircraft flying in the air, intelligence means, observations, and collection - with the aim of identifying any attempt by Hamas to challenge the forces.

3. The fire policy is: no deliberate strikes. Nevertheless - the IDF clarifies that any strike required to remove threats to the forces will be carried out. The strikes reported in Gaza in recent hours are strikes intended to remove threats to our forces, as well as to warn Gaza civilians against returning north to the city of Gaza.
