Big news from the tense Gaza border! Israel has announced a new ceasefire deal with Hamas. The deal includes the release of all 20 living hostages in Gaza, set to happen this Monday. This golden moment comes just before President Trump’s visit to Israel and Egypt, sparking hopes for peace after two years of conflict. Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian said, "We are expecting all 20 of our living hostages to be released together at one time to the Red Cross and transported among six to eight vehicles." She added that this exchange might look different from past hostage swaps because militants may not follow older patterns. But that’s not all! Israel also plans to release 2,000 Palestinian detainees as part of this sweeping deal. Plus, they will honor 28 hostages who are believed to have died during the conflict. This big move could be a game changer in the ongoing tensions between Israel and Gaza. With the world watching, all eyes are on this Monday. Will this act of goodwill open the doors for lasting peace? Only time will tell, but for now, there’s hope that these long-held captives will walk free and the fires of war might dim.
