In a dramatic development that could reshape the trajectory of the Middle East conflict, Hamas announced Friday that it is prepared to release all Israeli hostages, both living and deceased, provided that "field conditions for the exchange" are met.
The declaration came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping 20-point Middle East peace plan at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan notably excluded Hamas from direct talks, relying instead on regional and international mediators.
