"Israel's government has approved the framework of a deal to release all hostages held by the Hamas militant group in Gaza. "The government has just now approved the framework for the release of all of the hostages the living and the deceased," Netanyahu's office posted on social media platform X. The deal was brokered partly by the United States and includes the release of all hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers to an agreed line in Gaza."
"According to the Israeli government, 48 Israeli hostages are still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Only 20 are thought to be alive. Some 1,200 people were killed in the Hamas-led terror attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, and 251 were taken hostage. That prompted Israeli's military operation in Gaza. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and nearly 170,000 wounded since the war began, according to Gaza's Health Ministry."
Israel's government approved a framework for a deal to release all hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, covering both living and deceased. The framework, posted by Netanyahu's office, was partly brokered by the United States and includes the release of all hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers to an agreed line inside Gaza. The approval followed US President Donald Trump's announcement of agreement on "phase one" of a Gaza plan, which includes hostage release and a ceasefire. Later phases are intended to address governance of post-Hamas Gaza. Israeli officials say 48 hostages remain, about 20 believed alive. Gaza's Health Ministry reports over 67,000 Palestinians killed and nearly 170,000 wounded since the war began.
