Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed home three hostages, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Alexander Sasha Troufanov, and Iair Horn, who were held captive in Gaza for nearly 500 days.
He assured that the government would fully support their rehabilitation after their prolonged ordeal.
Netanyahu credited the release to military pressure inside Gaza and backing from former U.S. President Donald Trump.
He reaffirmed Israel's commitment to securing the return of all remaining hostages, both living and deceased, through close coordination with the United States.
According to Jerusalem Post, the Prime Minister also addressed Hamas's threats, stating that the group falsely accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement in an attempt to delay the hostages' release.
He emphasized that Israel remains vigilant and is preparing for "what comes next" with full intensity.
Defense Minister Israel Katz reinforced that the IDF is ready for any scenario, including Hamas's potential attempts to disrupt further hostage releases.
As the conflict continues, Israel remains focused on military and diplomatic efforts to bring home all captives.
