Part 4/9:
Hamas has welcomed the deal, viewing it as a step toward ending the war and a potential pathway for increased humanitarian aid into Gaza. The group also claims that this could lead to an Israeli withdrawal from the territory — a key goal for many involved parties.
In Israel, celebrations erupted among residents and families of hostages, with some directly contacting former President Trump to thank him for orchestrating the deal. Netanyahu lauded Trump’s persistence, suggesting he might merit the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in achieving what was previously unattainable.
