If accepted by Hamas, this proposal calls for the release of all remaining hostages immediately, but in no case more than 72 hours.

Their parents felt as strongly about getting their the body of their dead boy back as they did as though the boy ...

But if not, as you know, BB, you'd have RFO backing to do what you would have to. ...

It was positive, you know, to hear from President Trump his commitment as a president of peace to end this ugly war on Gaza, this aggression, Israeli aggression uh against innocent people from our point of view. So um it's this is very important and encouraging and also to talk about no annexation to talk about developing Gaza where people will stay on their own land and even those who left their homeland they are entitled to return back.Those are very encouraging ...
