Hostage families meet Netanyahu • Blinken: Hostage deal right on brink, awaiting final words from Hamas • Hostage deal likely to be announced within hours
US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night that a hostage-ceasefire deal had been met and the hostages would be “released shortly,” in a post on Truth Social.
An Israeli official later informed Israeli media that the differences in negotiations have been resolved, and a deal has been reached.
Two sources involved in the events of the last 24 hours in Qatar told The Jerusalem Post: “There weren’t really any significant difficulties. There were problems. There were things that took time to close, but at no point did it seem like the deal was going to blow up.”
