Israelis praise Trump at huge rally ahead of expected hostage release by Hamas in Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of people have held a rally in Tel Aviv, ahead of the expected release of Israeli hostages by Hamas.

Addressing the crowds, US special envoy Steve Witkoff said the hostages "are coming home" and praised Donald Trump for making a Gaza ceasefire and hostage return deal possible.

In Gaza, Palestinian officials said about 500,000 people had returned to northern Gaza - which lies in ruins - in the past two days, following the withdrawal of Israeli troops.

Meanwhile Egypt confirmed it would host a summit on Monday to finalize an agreement aimed at ending the war.

Trump is not interested in the welfare of Israel nor Gaza. He's looking at a land grab for himself.

I wonder if the make up of the crowd is right wing.

It doesn't seem spontaneous, though. In this case I suspect paid actors or perhaps the crowd was bussed in from the far right reaches of the party? Or from Qatar?

Peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. That said, 20th and 21st century history does not give me hope. Also, TSF fucks up EVERYTHING he touches.
