U.S. President Donald Trump announced "the historic dawn of the new Middle East" and called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to receive a pardon in a speech before the Israeli Knesset after Hamas released the 20 living hostages from captivity.
Trump spoke for an hour on Monday in Jerusalem as Israel celebrated the release of the remaining hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, as part of an agreement that the president helped broker.
After two harrowing years in darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families," Trump said. "Twenty-eight more precious loved ones are coming home at last to rest in this sacred soil for all of time."
"And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace," the president added.
“Hamas may not return all of the bodies of the deceased hostages, according to Israeli intelligence reports and messages conveyed by Hamas and mediators during negotiations for the peace deal.
The terror group, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, is reportedly unable to retrieve all of the bodies, as some of the hostages were held captive by factions in Gaza that are not under the complete control of Hamas. It remains to be seen whether this will impact the peace deal.
