United States Vice President JD Vance announced that the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas could happen imminently, possibly within the next 24 hours. Vance emphasized that the Trump administration is committed to applying strong pressure to ensure ongoing stability in Gaza and throughout the Middle East. He clarified that the 200 American troops being sent to Israel will focus solely on monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza, with no plans for them to engage in combat or be deployed on the ground in Palestinian territory. Vance reiterated the United States' dedication to supporting peace efforts without direct military involvement in Gaza.
