President Donald Trump announced on Friday that hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are expected to be released on Monday.

During a White House briefing, Trump stated that approximately 28 bodies are to be recovered, and he plans to travel to Cairo, with a subsequent visit to the Israeli Knesset, before returning to the U.S. on Tuesday. 

This development follows the approval of a ceasefire agreement by Israel's Cabinet, which includes provisions for the release of all remaining hostages. The deal, brokered with U.S. mediation, is viewed as a significant step toward ending the two-year conflict in Gaza.

Trump has expressed optimism about the potential for lasting peace in the region, contingent on the successful implementation of this agreement.
