This is a very special event. The Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering. Everybody's cheering at one time. That's never happened before. Usually, if you have one cheering, the other isn't.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of Biden's cancer treatment announcement?
The other is the opposite. This is the first time everybody is amazed and they're thrilled, and it's an honor to be involved. And we're going to have an amazing time, and it's going to be something that's never happened before.
It's unclear at exactly what time the hostages will be released, though the deadline, at least, to release all 20 living hostages set at noon Jerusalem time today or 7 p.m. Eastern, according to the terms of the deal.

Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary, a moment that many thought was impossible. Yet here we stand, living proof that when courage meets conviction, miracles can happen. A peace born not out of politics, but out of courage. The courage of those who refuse to give up hope.
When things got tough and we ran into brick walls, every time that happened, we just said, let's make a new plan. Let's try again. What will rise from this trauma will be a level of greatness, a level of achievement, a level of impact on the world, a level of leadership that Israel has never seen.
