Stand for Israel  |  February 13, 2025

Despite last minute uncertainty, Israel is hopeful that more hostages will come home this weekend:

Israel is optimistic that the hostage deal can be continued and that the next release of hostages can be achieved on Saturday, a source with knowledge told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

The Post learned on Thursday that Israeli ministers were insistent on “upholding the agreements as they are.”

Later on Thursday, Hamas confirmed its commitment to the continuation of the hostage-ceasefire deal in a statement on Telegram.

In these uncertain and dangerous times, we ask that you please continue to pray for peace and protection for Israel – and for the return of all hostages to their homes and loved ones.
