Families of Israeli hostages in Gaza said they feel both hope and fear after Hamas replied to US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Hamas agreed to release all remaining hostages but asked for more talks. Trump said Hamas is “ready for lasting peace” and urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is ready to act on the first phase of the plan. In Tel Aviv, thousands gathered calling “bring them home.” Families said they hope for the safe return of their loved ones soon but fear another deal may collapse. (PC: BBC)
