Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the remaining Gaza hostages could be released as soon as Monday or Tuesday. Speaking to reporters, Trump added that he plans to travel to the Middle East to mark the occasion, calling the potential release a “critical step toward peace and stability.”
The Gaza hostages have remained a central focus of international attention since they were taken during the recent conflict. Negotiations for their release have involved multiple regional and global mediators, including the United States, Egypt, and Qatar. Trump did not provide specific details about the talks but expressed optimism about the progress being made.
According to sources familiar with the discussions, the possible release would represent a significant breakthrough after months of complex diplomacy. The humanitarian situation in Gaza has worsened due to ongoing violence, prompting urgent global appeals for an end to hostilities and the safe return of all Gaza hostages.
Trump said he intends to personally witness the release, highlighting his administration’s prior involvement in Middle East peace efforts. “We are seeing hope again,” he stated, emphasizing that the focus should remain on ensuring stability and rebuilding trust between the sides.
Observers note that the situation remains fluid, and final agreements could depend on security guarantees and logistical arrangements for transferring the hostages. Regional officials have yet to confirm an exact timeline for the handover.
The international community continues to urge restraint and cooperation from all parties, stressing that the release of the Gaza hostages would be an important humanitarian gesture and a possible starting point for renewed peace efforts in the region.
