Trump says more hostages set to be released from Gaza

WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump announced Friday an additional release of hostages from the Gaza Strip is expected soon.

"We got most of the hostages back. We're going to have another 10 coming very shortly, and we hope to have that finished pretty quickly," Trump told Republican senators at the White House.

He also hailed his special Mideast envoy for his role in the sensitive talks.

"Steve Witkoff has been fantastic. He's done a great job in that. He's a very good man, good deal maker," he added.
