Hamas to release hostages within HOURS as Israel reveals details of handover & Trump prepares for peace summit
HAMAS will release the last remaining hostages within hours after holding them in captivity for over two years.
The move is seen as the first step towards a lasting peace between the terror group and Israel and has been engineered by Donald Trump.
The US President is on his way to Israel where he will meet with the families of the hostages and speak at Israel’s parliament.
He will then head to Egypt to co-lead a pivotal peace summit with international leaders to ensure the war in Gaza ends.
Israel has confirmed several key details around the hostage release deal.
All 20 living hostages will be “released together at one time” early on Monday morning.
A strict deadline of 10am UK time has been agreed upon with the releases expected to take place some hours beforehand.
They will be handed over to the Red Cross before being taken to the Israeli-controlled regions in Gaza for urgent health checks.
Israel has assured the world that Hamas has been warned against pulling “any sick displays” during the handover.
The freed hostages will then be reunited with their loved ones shortly afterwards in southern Israel.
Another 18 hostages who have died while being held by their Hamas tormentors will also be handed over.
They are expected to be released in coffins draped with Israeli flags.
Hamas agreed to the first stage of Trump‘s 20-point peace deal in exchange for the release of almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
Israel said it will start releasing these prisoners in multiple buses as soon as the hostages enter Israeli territory.
