Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel is ready to receive the remaining hostages at any time as it prepares for an exchange of captives expected to happen Monday morning.
"Israel is prepared and ready to immediately receive all of our hostages," Netanyahu said in a statement published by his office.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said in an interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday that the Israeli captives could be released "at any moment."
"It really should be any moment now," Vance said. "The president of the United States is planning to travel to the Middle East to greet the hostages Monday morning, Middle Eastern time, which should be late, you know, Sunday night, or very early Monday morning here in the United States."
The Gaza Health Ministry said Sunday that officials were still finishing preparations for the medical examination of freed Palestinian captives held by Israel at the Nasser Medical Complex.
