Israel & Hamas Agree to Ceasefire & Hostage Release ✌️

Trump said Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of his peace plan, pausing fighting and releasing hostages and prisoners.

The deal, reached after talks in Egypt, calls for Israel to pull back troops and for all hostages to be freed soon.

"This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace," Trump wrote. "All Parties will be treated fairly!"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on social media, "With God’s help we will bring them all home."

The war in Gaza is nearing its 2-year mark, when Hamas led an attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in which militants killed 1,200 people and took roughly 250 people hostage.

LiveNOW's Christina Evans spoke about the announcement with national security expert John Hannah.
