U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that "we are the closest we have been for a long time to having no more hostages held by Hamas. This cannot take additional weeks or even days." According to him, "90% of the details have been completed, and we are, roughly, just finalizing the logistical part. I hope this will be finalized very quickly, at the beginning of the week." However, he clarified: "Nobody is claiming that this is closed."
