Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly praised President Donald Trump as Israel's 'greatest friend' following the release of the last 20 living hostages by Hamas under a new peace deal. Netanyahu credited Trump for his support at the United Nations, recognition of Israeli claims in the West Bank, and for launching military operations against Iran's nuclear sites. As part of the peace agreement, Israel and Hamas began a prisoner exchange, with Israel releasing 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in return for the hostages. The deal includes a halt to Israeli military operations, humanitarian aid for Gaza, and a transition to technocratic Palestinian governance overseen by an international board chaired by Trump. Plans for Gaza's redevelopment and security arrangements are also central to the agreement, with international forces ensuring stability and regional partners supporting compliance.
