Netanyahu: Preparing for immediate implementation to release all hostages, according to Trump's plan

Israel's Prime Minister issued an unusual late-night statement responding to President Trump's declaration, which had welcomed Hamas's response to his peace plan and demanded Israel immediately halt its bombing campaign in Gaza. Notably, Netanyahu avoided addressing Trump's demand for a ceasefire—though Israeli operations to take control over Gaza have already been paused in recent days. Instead, the PM stated that "in light of Hamas's response, Israel is preparing for immediate implementation of the first phase of Trump's plan." He pledged to work "in full cooperation with the President to end the war in accordance with the principles Israel has established."
