20 Israeli hostages have been released today under the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. These hostages were in captivity of Hamas for two years. The release of these hostages is being considered a very important step towards peace efforts in Gaza. On the other hand, there is an atmosphere of celebration in Israel today. Now Israel will also release Palestinian prisoners soon. Donald Trump has addressed the Israeli Parliament today where he was given a very warm welcome.
Israeli PM Netanyahu said that I have seen many American presidents. I have never seen anyone moving the world forward so rapidly, so decisively, with such determination as our friend, President Donald J. Trump has done it. He has described Trump as Israel’s best friend among American presidents. Let us tell you that even before this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had praised Donald Trump for his efforts for the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
