"Hey Bill, good morning. The war in Gaza is almost over for the first time in months. There is hope across the Middle East. President Trump has done what so many thought was impossible. Celebrations erupted at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv overnight as Israelis processed the news that all of the remaining hostages held by Hamas will be released in the days ahead." "I want to thank President Trump for bringing this amazing victory. That's the name for it. That's a victory. He deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing this amazing deal." Similar moments of joy unfolding inside Gaza as crowds of Palestinians cheered and chanted after two years of war and influx of aid and relief will make it to residents there. The Israeli cabinet is set to formally vote on the deal this evening. Once that vote passes, Israeli forces inside Gaza will have 24 hours to pull back to agreed upon lines within the enclave. President Trump says 20 living hostages will be released on Monday. Israeli media reports the exchange could take place sooner. Local hospitals are already preparing for their return. The hostages will be swapped for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, 250 of whom are serving life sentences. As for the bodies of the remaining 28 hostages, a joint task force from the U.S., Qatar, Egypt, Turkey and Israel is reportedly being set up to help locate the remains. Remember this is the first phase of a broader 20-point peace plan but at this moment both Israelis and Palestinians agree President Trump has made history. Bill? Thank you, Trey. Trey Yanks, live in Tel Aviv, back to you with more developments momentarily. Thank you, Trey.
