Israeli Hostages Released, Trump Addresses Knesset

 Even the liberal media outlets are grudgingly having to give kudos to Donald Trump.  He has figured out a way to stop the war and now he's taking a victory lap.

President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, on Monday as the first steps of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continue to come into effect.

The final 20 remaining living hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, were returned to Israel on Monday as part of an exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, Israeli officials said.

Some Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has for two years waged a brutal and systematic war against Hamas, are returning home and beginning to reckon with the destruction caused by the conflict.

The Hostage Families Forum said they’ve learned that only four of the 28 bodies of hostages still believed to be in Gaza will be returned on Monday. The group is accusing Hamas of violating the deal, saying, "we expect Israel’s government and the mediators to take immediate action to rectify this grave injustice."

"The hostage families were shocked and dismayed to learn that only 4 bodies of deceased hostages will be returned today, out of 28 held by Hamas," the Hostage Families Forum said in a statement. "This represents a blatant breach of the agreement by Hamas.”

“We expect Israel’s government and the mediators to take immediate action,” the statement said. “The mediators must enforce the agreement’s terms and ensure Hamas pays a price for this violation."

An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said Monday, "We will not rest until the mission is complete. We are prepared for the return of all the fallen hostages, and expect Hamas to abide by the terms of the agreement."

Of course we know this isn't really going to be a lasting peace.  If Jesus tarries the same Muslim extremists will take over in Gaza, the same text books used to teach kids to hate Jews, the same tunnels will get rebuilt using foreign aid money and the war will start again.

But just maybe, the rapture will happen, the Antichrist will get revealed and he will confirm some type of peace agreement that allows the Jews to build a third temple on the Temple Mount?

While they are saying 'peace and safety' destruction will come upon them suddenly.
