Trump eyes Egypt trip, says hostages to be freed next week

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said he would try to go to Egypt for the signing of a Gaza ceasefire deal, adding that he expected Hamas to free hostages on Monday or Tuesday under the long-sought agreement. Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Trump said the agreement between Israel and Palestinian militant group had “ended the war in Gaza” and would lead to broader Middle East peace. “We secured the release of all of the remaining hostages, and they should be released on Monday or Tuesday,” Trump told his assembled cabinet secretaries at the White House.
