Trump "Hosters in Gaza will be released soon"

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he welcomes Israel and Hamas' agreement to exchange hostages and prisoners with a ceasefire.

In a post on his social media and Truth Social on the 15th local time, Trump said he reached an agreement for hostages in the Middle East, and thanked the hostages for being released soon.

Trump's swift response appears intended to highlight his contribution as Trump's personnel, as well as Joe Biden's administration, have been involved in the ceasefire negotiations.

Earlier, Trump warned at a press conference on the 7th that if Hamas does not release the hostages, including Americans currently detained, by the inauguration on the 20th, a full-scale hell will unfold in the Middle East and it will be bad for Hamas.
