The deal was approved by Israel’s cabinet today,now a cease-fire will kick in tomorrow,giving Hamas three days to free the 20 remaining hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement: ‘The government has just approved the framework for the release of all the hostages — both the living and the deceased.’

Hours before Trump had said: ‘Last night,we reached a momentous breakthrough in the Middle East,something that people said was never going to be done.

‘We ended the war in Gaza and really,on a much bigger basis,created peace.’

He added that ‘we are getting the hostages back on Tuesday,Monday or Tuesday’.

‘Getting them back is a complicated process. I’d rather not tell you what they have to do to get them,’ the Republican leader said.

When the bodies of the believed to be 25 dead hostages will be released depends on whether Hamas can find them.

In the deadly October 7 attack two years ago,Hamas and other militants took about 250 people captive and brought them back to the tiny enclave.

Many of the people kidnapped have been released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails during two cease-fires.

At least eight hostages have been freed by Israeli forces. Israeli soldiers have killed three – mistaking them for Palestinian militants – and killed four others in Israeli airstrikes.

Around three dozen hostages have been killed in captivity,according to The New York Times.
