U.S. Vice President JD Vance has confirmed that Hamas will release 20 living hostages within 24 hours, calling it a “remarkable achievement” by President Donald Trump’s administration. Speaking on ABC, Vance said the breakthrough marks “true peace in the Middle East for the first time in my lifetime.” He credited Trump’s direct diplomacy involving Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff for securing the ceasefire deal. The release is expected just hours before Trump arrives in Israel to address the Knesset and attend the Egypt peace summit in Sharm El Sheikh.
