Israeli officials are preparing for the possible early release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, with some suggesting it could happen as soon as Sunday. This comes after United States President Donald Trump announced that the release was expected on Monday and revealed plans to visit Israel and Egypt next week. Sources indicate that Hamas may be considering advancing the release as a goodwill gesture toward Trump, though no official confirmation has been given. Israeli authorities have stated that all systems are ready should the release occur ahead of schedule.
