| 2025-10-04 | |
''Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Egypt later today to finalize the technical details of the hostage release and discuss the lasting peace deal,'' a White House official said. ''I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed,'' Trump posted on his Truth Social Saturday. ''Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let's get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!'' ''Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Egypt later today to finalize the technical details of the hostage release and discuss the lasting peace deal,'' a White House official told Axios on Saturday. AP The summit, first reported by Axios, will kick off the first phase of President Trump's 21-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip, which has received qualified endorsements from both sides in the conflict after he gave the terror group until Sunday at 6 p.m. to agree to it — or watch ''all HELL'' break loose. The 48 remaining hostages, 20 of whom are believed to be still alive, could be released ''within a few days,'' a senior Israeli official told Channel 12 news on Saturday, as the Jewish state's military withdraws from Gaza and officials release Palestinian prisoners amid a cease-fire. Witkoff, the envoy to the Middle East, has already led negotiations that have resulted in the release of all the living US hostages. Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, was the top Middle East envoy during President Trump's first term.
