President Trump released a brief video statement from the Oval Office today, claiming Hamas has agreed to release all Israeli hostages and signaling an imminent peace deal in the Middle East. The president described the situation as “a big day” and emphasized that “everybody will be treated fairly” in negotiations.
In the one-minute-and-ten-second video, Trump expressed optimism about finalizing a plan to return hostages to their families while acknowledging further details needed to secure the agreement. He highlighted Hamas’s acceptance of his proposed framework, which includes Israel releasing 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 others detained since the conflict began. However, the statement did not specify whether Hamas’s demands for an immediate halt to Israeli bombing in Gaza would be addressed.
Trump thanked several Arab and Muslim nations, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey, for their roles in facilitating the effort. The video did not mention Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite his government’s involvement in the ongoing conflict. The president framed the development as a historic opportunity to achieve “peace in the Middle East,” though he stopped short of confirming the deal was finalized.
