PM Netanyahu’s statement regarding the hostage-return agreement

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

With the approval of the first phase of the plan, all our hostages will be brought home. This is a diplomatic success and a national and moral victory for the State of Israel.

From the beginning, I made it clear: we will not rest until all our hostages return and all our goals are achieved.

Through steadfast resolve, powerful military action, and the great efforts of our great friend and ally President Trump, we have reached this critical turning point.

I thank President Trump for his leadership, his partnership, and his unwavering commitment to the safety of Israel and the freedom of our hostages.

God Bless Israel.
God Bless America.
God Bless our great alliance
