Israel prepares to implement ‘first stage’ of Trump’s Gaza peace plan

It comes after Hamas announced it has agreed to release all Israeli hostages and return the remains of the deceased under Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

‘In light of the Hamas response [to the Trump peace plan], Israel is making preparations for the immediate implementation of the first phase of the Trump plan which is the immediate release of all of the hostages,’ Netanyahu said in a statement. 

‘We will continue to fully cooperate with the president and his team in order to end the war in accordance with the principles that Israel laid out and which are in line with President Trump’s vision.’ 

On Friday afternoon, Trump posted a video celebrating the deal, though he similarly was waiting to get it ‘in concrete’ with Hamas and Israel.

He thanked QatarEgyptSaudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey alongside others for having ‘helped me put this together.’
