In November 2023, there was a ceasefire under the Biden administration where 50 Israeli hostages were released, 150 Palestinians were released. In January 2025, just before Donald Trump took office, there was another ceasefire as part of a multi-phase agreement by the Biden administration.

President Trump played a crucial role in the historic hostage release. His relentless pursuit of solutions, leveraging relationships with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, was pivotal in negotiating the hostages' freedom.

President Trump's announcement of the return of 20 courageous hostages after two harrowing years in captivity was a deeply moving moment. This triumphal event marks a significant achievement in the Middle East, with 28 more precious loved ones coming home to rest in sacred soil.

President Trump brokered an unthinkable deal: the release of the final 20 live Israeli hostages all at once, contrary to expectations that Hamas would prolong the process.

President Trump personally called many hostage families to inform them that their family members were coming home. This move has been praised as a significant human story, highlighting the geopolitical and humanitarian impact of the agreement.
