Vice President JD Vance told ABC’s This Week that Hamas says it holds 20 living hostages expected to be freed within 24 hours, as President Donald Trump heads to Israel and Egypt and plans to meet hostage families at the Knesset on Monday. Vance praised U.S. diplomats and said the moment could herald 'true peace,' while stressing no U.S. troops are intended to enter Gaza. He disputed reports of new deployments, even as a U.S. official told ABC News that 200 troops will head to Israel. U.S. Central Command is setting up a coordination center to monitor the ceasefire.
