In a surprising turn of events, Hamas has announced they will release more Israeli hostages by the Saturday deadline than originally planned. The decision comes after intense pressure from both the Israeli government and the US administration, with President Trump demanding the release of all hostages by Saturday.
The Israeli cabinet has backed President Trump's demand, stating that they will not tolerate any delays or attempts by Hamas to renege on their promise. This follows the recent release of a single Israeli hostage earlier in the week, leading to hopes that a swift resolution may be on the horizon.
The hostages are believed to be held in Gaza, with Hamas accused of using them as bargaining chips in negotiations with Israel. The release of additional hostages is seen as a positive step towards de-escalating tensions between the two sides and preventing further conflict.
As the Saturday deadline approaches, all eyes are on Hamas to uphold their promise and release the remaining hostages. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with hopes for a peaceful resolution that will bring an end to the hostage crisis.

Canada and Mexico have retaliated against the United States by imposing tariffs on Saturday, following the recent increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum products. The move comes amid escalating trade tensions between the three nations.
The tariffs were announced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in response to the United States' decision to reinstate tariffs that had been lifted during the previous administration. The increase in tariffs by the United States has been criticized by both Canada and Mexico, who have labeled the move as unjust and harmful to their economies.
The decision to impose tariffs on Saturday has further exacerbated the trade dispute between the three nations, with fears of a potential trade war looming. The move has also raised concerns about the impact on global trade and the economy, as well as potential repercussions for consumers.
As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes are on how the trade dispute between Canada, Mexico, and the United States will develop in the coming days.
