Leaders around the world have welcomed the news that a deal has been reached between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group for the release of the Israeli hostages taken two years ago.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the deal on Oct. 8, noting that hostages are likely to be released in the coming days and that Hamas will cede control of the Gaza Strip.
