Trump is very serious about the 12:00 deadline to release ALL Israeli hostages, and Israel's got a green light to call off the ceasefire if that demand isn't met.

By the way - it appears Trump means 12pm Washington time, which will be 7pm in Israel, a little over 4 hours from now.

Prime Minister's Office:

Prime Minister Netanyahu highly appreciates President Trump's leadership and ongoing coordination with the United States.

The combination of the reinforcement of IDF forces around the Gaza Strip and President Trump's assertive stance led to the release of three of our hostages today - despite Hamas's earlier refusal to release them.

The Prime Minister also appreciates the President's full support for Israel's decisions regarding the Gaza Strip going forward.

The Prime Minister will convene the Political-Security Cabinet as soon as possible to decide on Israel's next steps.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

"I want to say to the people of this great country, for all that you have been through and are going through - you are an extraordinary country. You rose from the ashes of a historic low point for humanity, you face threats from all sides and you are an example to the whole world. If there were more Israel in the Middle East, it would be more peaceful and quiet."


Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Contrary to what is being portrayed, President Trump and I are working in full coordination.

"We have a common strategy and it is not always possible to detail it to the public – including when the gates of hell will open. And they will open if all our hostages are not returned, down to the last one."

Israeli forces destroy more Hezbollah infrastructure ahead of their withdrawal from southern Lebanon in two days.

Israel remains highly skeptical of the Lebanese Army's willingness and ability to take control of the area, and expects Hezbollah to make a great show of returning to the border.

IDF Spokesman:

A short while ago, the IAF conducted precision, intelligence-based strikes on a number of military sites in Lebanese territory containing rocket launchers and weapons, where Hezbollah activity had been identified.

Terrorist activity at these sites constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF is continuing to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.

Meteorologists are forecasting a "storm of the decade" this coming weekend, with freezing temperatures, heavy rain, and snow expected on mountaintops across the country (photos are of the 2013 snow storm in Jerusalem).

There is some question as to how this might affect the next hostage release in Gaza.
