President Donald Trump said the remaining hostages will only return once Hamas is "confronted and destroyed" as Israel plans to expand its Gaza offensive.

Hamas has agreed to a cease-fire proposal calling for the terror group to free more than half of the remaining hostages in Gaza, including 10 living captives, in exchange for a 60-day truce,

Hamas has reportedly now accepted a deal that it declined last month to cease fighting and release some of the hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel and other concessions.

More than 300 demonstrations are expected throughout the day as hostages families try to bring the nation to a standstill. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the nationwide strikes in support of the hostages in Hamas captivity on Sunday were delaying their release and preventing the war from coming to an end.

The family of Hersh Goldberg-Polin asked for action in his honor: “May his memory be a revolution … for goodness.”

President Donald Trump said Monday morning that the remaining hostages in Gaza will only be returned when Hamas is “confronted and destroyed.”

"Your legacy could be defined by this moment - the leader who ended the wars and brought our people home, while creating a future for both our families and the people of Gaza. " US President Donald Trump should make the "deal of all deals" to stop the war in Gaza and secure the release of all 50 hostages still in Hamas captivity,

Their bodies were found by the IDF in the Hamas tunnel last year in August, after enduring horrific conditions, including torture and starvation. A memorial ceremony of prayer and song for slain hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin took place on Tuesday in Jerusalem,
