At the beginning of the war, I promised to bring all the hostages home.

Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the state of Israel has ever had in the White House.

Anyone who claims that this hostage deal was always on the table is simply not telling the truth.

Hamas will disarm and Gaza will be demilitarized. If this can be achieved the easy way, all the better; if not, it will be achieved the hard way.

The government has just now approved the framework for the release of all of the hostages – the living and the deceased.

With God's help we will bring them all home.

Tomorrow I will convene the government to approve the agreement and bring all our dear hostages home.

I thank from the depths of my heart President Trump and his team for their mobilization for this sacred mission of releasing our hostages.

It was a big day for Israel.

We will continue to fully cooperate with the president and his team in order to end the war in accordance with the principles that Israel laid out and which are in line with President Trump’s vision.

In the second phase, Hamas will be disarmed and the Strip will be demobilized. This will happen either through a diplomatic path according to the Trump plan or through a military path by us.

It is not yet final. We are working on it vigorously, and I hope, God willing, that in the coming days, during the Sukkot holiday, I will be able to announce to you the return of all our hostages, both living and dead, in one fell swoop…
