President Donald Trump has revealed that ten more hostages will be released from Gaza soon as part of a truce deal being worked on by both sides.
The deal has been negotiated with the help of the Trump administration’s American Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
Trump told lawmakers that the truce would include a 60-day ceasefire, the hostage release, along with 18 bodies, in exchange for some Hamas detainees.
“We got most of the hostages back,” Trump said.
“We’re going to have another 10 coming very shortly, and we hope to have that finished quickly.”
Discussions have been ongoing since July 6 in Doha, but no firm agreement has been struck.
Gaza’s health ministry claimed that more than 58,600 civilians have been killed since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
However, the Hamas-controlled health ministry often exaggerates the figures and conflates terrorists with civilians.
Around 1,200 Israelis were killed in the initial, unprovoked, surprise attack, and Hamas took another 250 hostages.
Since then, Israel has been attacking Gaza to get to the terrorists, who use civilians as human shields.
Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas so it can never attack the Jewish state in that way again.
It is unknown whether Gaza’s health ministry is inflating the casualty numbers to gain sympathy.
In any case, there is documented evidence of Hamas using the people of Gaza as human shields and encouraging civilian bombings to make Israel look guilty of targeting civilians.
Israel has provided literal tons of aid for Gaza, but much of it has been taken by Hamas before it can get to the people who need it.
U.S. intervention has likely prolonged the war, at least in its encouragement toward ceasefires and negotiations.
Every ceasefire only gives Hamas breathing space to regroup and continue its attacks.
Hamas’s efforts have been most successful with the far-left in the U.S.
Social media has been rife with propaganda that seeks to lionize Hamas.
Meanwhile, left-wing groups have protested against Israel on college campuses and other locations.
