Families of Israeli hostages have called on US President Donald Trump to ensure all hostages held in Gaza are released. Among those appealing to Trump was Simcha Goldin, the father of Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier whose body has been held by militants in Gaza since 2014 despite a public campaign by the family to return his remains.

The second batch of Israeli hostages set to be released by Hamas this weekend are four female soldiers, an advocacy group representing the captives’ family members confirmed Friday. Hamas had announced the names hours earlier.
Under the terms of the fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, fighting will be halted in Gaza for at least six weeks. Dozens of Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be freed, while more aid flows in.
