Netanyahu vows to bring captives home after Gaza deal announced
“With God’s help, we will bring them all home,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, referring to Israeli captives in Gaza. His statement came shortly after US President Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had signed off on the first phase of a Gaza deal.
Hamas calls on US, Arab mediators to ‘compel’ Israel to uphold deal
Hamas has released its first public statement since US President Trump said the Palestinian group and Israel had “signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan”.
In a post on Telegram, Hamas announced the “conclusion of an agreement stipulating an end to the war on Gaza, the occupation’s withdrawal from it, the entry of aid, and a prisoner exchange”.
The statement called on the US leader, Arab mediators and international parties to “compel the occupation government [Israel] to fully implement the agreement’s requirements and not allow it to evade or delay the implementation of what has been agreed upon”.
The group concluded by saying it will remain “faithful to our pledge and will not abandon our people’s national rights, including freedom, independence, and self-determination”.
Netanyahu government to ‘meet to approve agreement’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed what he calls “a great day for Israel”, saying he will “convene the government tomorrow [Thursday] to approve the agreement and bring all our precious kidnapped people home”.
Posting on X, Netanyahu said the nation was united behind the families of those held in Gaza, saying: “And they returned from the enemy land … and their sons returned to their borders.”
He thanked the Israeli military and security forces, as well as US President Donald Trump and his team, “for their commitment to this sacred mission of freeing our kidnapped people”.
“With God’s help, together we will continue to achieve all our goals and expand peace with our neighbours,” Netanyahu posted.
