As the deadline for Palestinian group Hamas to release all hostages expired, U.S. President Donald Trump reaffirmed American support for Israel’s response.

In an official tweet, Trump announced that Hamas had released three hostages from Gaza, including an American citizen. "They seem to be in good shape!" he stated, highlighting that this action contradicted Hamas’ earlier claim that they would not release any hostages.

Trump emphasized that Israel must now decide on its course of action regarding the 12:00 PM deadline set for the release of all remaining hostages. "The United States will back the decision they make!" he affirmed, signaling full American support for Israel's next move.

As tensions escalate, the international community closely watches Israel’s response, with growing concerns over the evolving situation.
