Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said Israel would bring home all the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, after US President Donald Trump and mediators reported a deal to end the Gaza war.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the “first phase” of his peace plan to pause fighting and release at least some hostages and prisoners, U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday.

The US president says the first phase of the deal secures the exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners and the start of an Israeli withdrawal.
