Hamas issued a statement on Wednesday confirmed that they are ready to reach a comprehensive agreement which will include release of hostages in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners agreed to end the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas’s statement came after US President Donald Trump called on the group to release the 20 hostages it was holding.
Trump tweeted, “Tell Hamas to immediately release the 20 hostages (not two, five, or seven!), and things will change quickly, and the war will end.”
