Israelis praise Trump at huge rally ahead of expected hostage release by Hamas in Gaza
Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv today to express their gratitude to former U.S. President Donald Trump for his role in securing the upcoming release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The rally, organized by a coalition of Israeli civic groups, took place in Rabin Square and featured speakers highlighting the importance of American support in ensuring the safe return of the captives.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement released prior to the event, praised Trump for his efforts in negotiating with Hamas through backchannel channels. Netanyahu emphasized that the imminent release of the hostages is a testament to the strong diplomatic ties between Israel and the United States.
Trump, who is currently on a private visit to Israel, did not attend the rally but expressed his appreciation for the gesture in a tweet, stating, “I stand with Israel, always. Happy to see these wonderful people. Big things happening!”
On the other hand, Palestinian officials have downplayed Trump’s role in the negotiations, attributing the breakthrough to ongoing diplomatic efforts by various international mediators. A spokesperson for Hamas stated that the imminent release of the hostages was a result of the organization’s commitment to resolving outstanding issues through peaceful means.
The release of the Israeli hostages, which is expected to occur within the next few days, has been welcomed as a positive development in the region, potentially paving the way for further dialogues between Israeli and Palestinian authorities.
