President Donald Trump on Sunday night is en route to the Middle East as Israelis await the release of those who have been held in captivity by the Hamas terrorist group for years.
Trump said on Oct. 12 that the Hamas terrorist group may release their remaining Israeli and American hostages “a little bit early,” as the president travels to the region to mark a cease-fire agreement to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
