Although the exact timing of the hostage transfer from Gaza remains uncertain,it is anticipated to occur early Monday. Of the 48 hostages set to be released this week, 20 are believed to be alive. Trump departed for the Middle East, planning to visit Israel and Egypt to support his administration&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reports-biden-admin-colluded-with-iran-to-derail-president-trump\/\" title=\"Reports: Biden admin. colluded with Iran to derail President ...\">peace efforts<\/a> and meet the hostages and their families. Vance emphasized the administration&#8217;s unconventional diplomatic approach in mediating the agreement, highlighting cooperation with Gulf Arab states and other Muslim-majority countries. Furthermore, the U.S. will not deploy troops on the ground in Gaza or Israel but will oversee about 200 foreign troops tasked with monitoring the ceasefire. The Israeli military has committed to withdrawing from parts of Gaza as part of the deal, which U.S. Central Command confirms has been fulfilled.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump to greet freed Israeli hostages in Middle East visit, Vance says<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2369468\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> is expected to greet the freed Israeli hostages on Monday morning during his trip to the Middle East, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JD Vance<\/a> revealed on Sunday, following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3843357\/trump-peace-deal-israel-hamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">breakthrough peace deal<\/a> between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Vance said it&rsquo;s unclear exactly at this point in time when the transfer of the remaining hostages in Gaza will take place, but said it should be happening early Monday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3847232\/afghanistan-pakistan-border-operations\/\">Afghanistan says it has killed 58 Pakistani soldiers in overnight border operations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3847190\/witkoff-kushner-visit-gaza-tel-aviv-ahead-of-hostage-release\/\">Witkoff and Kushner visit Gaza and attend rally in Tel Aviv ahead of hostage release<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3846944\/zelensky-hopes-gaza-peace-deal-means-peace-is-coming-for-ukraine\/\">Zelensky hopes Gaza peace deal means peace is coming for Ukraine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a monumental thing,&rdquo;
