TEL AVIV: Two years of pain were drowned out by tears of joy at Tel Avivs Hostages Square on Thursday, as Israelis celebrated President Donald Trumps announcement of thefirst phase of a deal aimed at ending the war between Israel and Hamas."I am overjoyed, overwhelmed, happy all the good feelings in the world,"Daniel Lifshitz told Fox News Digital at Tel Avivs Hostages Square.Lifshitzs grandfather, Oded Lifshitz, was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7, 2023, and was later killed in Hamas captivity. His remains were returned to Israel in Feb. 2025 for burial.TRUMP PEACE DEAL TRIGGERS 72-HOUR COUNTDOWN FOR HAMAS TO RELEASE 48 HOSTAGES FROM GAZA"When your loved one is a deceased hostage, your soul cant rest. You dont know what to do; you dont have a place to mourn. You cant invent a grave and go there," Lifshitz said."Theres the fear that some of the hostages wont return on their feet, that some of the bodies wont be found. We will be here until the last one is brought home, but today is a holiday."On Wednesday, Trump announcedthe agreement, writing, "This means that all of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed-upon line as the first steps toward a strong, durable and everlasting peace."Israelis wearing Trump face masks and waving U.S. flags or signs thanking the American president gathered in the square in a scene of euphoria, snapping photos with fellow supporters, chanting "The people of Israel live," and brimming with hope as the nation prepares to welcome home hostages abducted by Hamas 733 days ago.Galit Even-Chen was among thousands of Israelis to mark the occasion at Hostages Square."I feel the need to identify with happiness," she told Fox News Digital as she broke into tears. "To share in the families joy, to be here and believe that its really happening."Until the last hostage comes back, its not over," she continued. "We are still in trauma; were not even post-trauma yet. We still need to understand what happened here. It feels unreal and today is a kind of catharsis, a relief that we are beginning something better."TRUMP SAYS 'WHOLE WORLD CAME TOGETHER' TO SECURE ISRAEL- HAMAS PEACE DEAL AFTER MONTHS OF DEADLOCKThe Hostage and Missing Families Forum Headquarters overnight Wednesday expressed its "deep gratitude" to Trump and his team for the leadership and determination that led to the "historic breakthrough.""There are48 hostages still held by Hamas. Our moral and national duty is to bring them all home, both the living and the fallen. Their return is essential for the healing and renewal of Israeli society as a whole. We will not rest, and we will not be silent until the last hostage is home," the statement said.Harrosh Menashe, the uncle of Hamas hostage Elkana Bohbot, who was taken at the Supernova festival on Oct. 7 and is presumed alive, told Fox News Digital that Trumps announcement was a "relief" as he visited Kibbutz Nahal Ozs tent, in memory of the victims of the massacre, at the square."We already feel somewhat lighter, not as heavy as before. We hope to return to what we once were but it must happen as soon as possible. For now, were floating in the air; we need to stay grounded and watch how things unfold," Menashe added.The Israeli military announced preparations to receive the 20 living hostages at the Reim base, located close to the Gaza border, including the creation of a dedicated area where they will be checked by medical officials and freshen up before reuniting with their families. Thereafter, the freed captives will be flown to hospitals across Israel, which have already cleared dedicated departments.Earlier this week, families of hostages sent a letter to theNorwegian Nobel Committee, calling on the body to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump as he had "made possible what many said was impossible.""In this past year, no leader or organization has contributed more to peace around the world than President Trump," the letter stated. "While many have spoken eloquently about peace, he has achieved it. While others have offered empty promises, he has delivered tangible results that have saved countless lives."Trump and first lady Melania thanked the forum in a letter sent on Tuesdaythe second anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led massacre."My entire administration has been touched by the fact that, through the unimaginable pain and suffering of spending two years not knowing where your loved ones are, you have continued telling their stories and advocating on their behalf," Trump wrote.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is optimistic that President Donald Trumps newly-brokered Gaza peace deal could bring "a chance for enduring peace" to the Middle East, praising the first-phase agreement Thursday and crediting Trumps leadership in ending the two-year-long conflict between Israel and Hamas."I think it's an incredibly comprehensive kind of plan," Fetterman told "America's Newsroom.""Now you have Hamas fully saying they're committed to this, and of course Israel is now, too. But what's also very important, too, all of the Arab nations around, whether it's Egypt and Turkey and Qatar as well, have really pushed Hamas, saying this is going to be the best deal you're ever going to get, and this awful war needs to end So I'm actually optimistic that this week [we] have a chance for enduring peace."ARDENTLY PRO-ISRAEL DEM SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN CONGRATULATES TRUMP FOR 'HISTORIC PEACE PLAN'Fetterman, who has long broken with many members of his party by expressing devout support for Israel, credited the nation for dealing major blows to Hamas and Hezbollah and taking steps to halt Iran's nuclear program along the way, creating the atmosphere for peace.The Pennsylvania Democrat said his party should have been "firmly behind Israel" throughout the war, reaffirming his support for the Jewish state.He also credited President Trump for his "very strong commitment" to Israel, saying he supports many of Trumps actions toward the U.S. ally, including strikes on Iranian nuclear sites under "Operation Midnight Hammer."WORLD LEADERS PRAISE 'LANDMARK' ISRAEL-HAMAS PEACE DEAL MEDIATED BY US: 'NEW HORIZON OF HOPE'"I believe I might have been the only Democrat that supported them through it. Today, I think it's entirely appropriate to celebrate this," he said."Thank God this terrible war is going to end, and these poor souls kept underground for over two years can come back home. I think I don't understand why anyone's reaction would be other than that."Fetterman echoed language from others since the news came to fruition, suggesting Trump could be deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize after securing the first-phase peace agreement.Fetterman added that if Trump were also able to push toward peace in the Russia-Ukraine war, in his view, Trump would be deserving of Nobel Peace Prize recognition for ending both conflicts.

Senate Democrats blocked Republicans' plan to reopen the government for a seventh time on Thursday as payday deadlines fast approach for the military.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and most of his caucus have so far shown no signs of breaking from their position as the shutdown entered its ninth day. Republicans are also similarly unwilling to relent, further solidifying the stalemate in the upper chamber.But a key deadline that lawmakers must hit to ensure that service members get their paychecks is fast approaching and will likely be missed unless a deal is struck.SENATE GOP RESISTS 'NUCLEAR OPTION' AS DEM SHUTDOWN STANDOFF DEEPENSLawmakers have until Oct. 13, the deadline to process payments for the militarys payroll, to fund the government, or service members will miss their first paycheck. Senate staff members are soon after, with their next expected payday coming Oct. 20.Those looming deadlines have not made either side flinch, however."I'm concerned about everybody going without pay. We need to open the government back up, and I think people need to sit down and talk to each other," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., said. "And so far, the president has been unwilling to talk, leadership in both houses have been unwilling to talk, and this is Day 19 of the speaker not being willing to bring the House back."The Senate is also scheduled for a recess starting next week, which is expected to be canceled. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said whether lawmakers are in town is up to Senate Democrats."Well, it depends on the Democrats, but at the moment, it's looking that way," Thune said.Both partys positions have remained the same. Senate Democrats want an extension to expiring Obamacare tax credits, and they want an ironclad deal addressing those subsidies first before giving Thune the votes he needs to reopen the government."We Democrats want to end this shutdown as quickly as we can," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "But Donald Trump and Republicans need to negotiate with us in a serious way to fix the healthcare premiums crisis."But Senate Republicans are adamant that those conversations and negotiations can happen only after the government is reopened. They also want reforms to the COVID-19 era program, which they charge has been inflationary and helped lead to an increase in healthcare premium prices.SENATE DEMOCRATS DEFY WHITE HOUSE WARNINGS, AGAIN BLOCK GOP BID TO REOPEN GOVERNMENTBoth Shaheen and Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., have been heavily involved in bipartisan talks that have gone on throughout the shutdown. Those chats have been little more than informal conversations, however, and have yet to make the leap to full-blown negotiations."They just simply want a guaranteed outcome, which we can't guarantee," Rounds told Fox News Digital. "Everything's got to work its way through the process. If they end the shutdown, then we can get back to work on actually doing a process that might be, you know, something that they would feel good about. But at this stage of the game, until they end the shutdown, there's not much we can do."While positions remain unchanged, the talking points on Capitol Hill have begun to morph. Republicans are now alleging that Senate Democrats are holding out their votes to reopen the government until an Oct. 18 "No Kings" rally in Washington, D.C.GOVERNMENT LIMPS DEEPER INTO SHUTDOWN CRISIS WITH NO DEAL IN SIGHT"The most frustrating part is the fact that there's clearly some movement on their side, among their leadership team to keep this going through until this left-wing protest occurs a week from this Saturday," Rounds said.Republican leadership in both chambers have pounced on that date, too, and it has become a common talking point among the GOP in recent days. Democrats have rejected the new messaging strategy."They all got instructed, they're losing. They are losing this fight," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said. "The people know that they're to blame. They're worried about their premium increases, and so Republicans are desperate for a new narrative."Still, Republicans are hopeful that more than the same consistent trio of Democratic caucus members will join them to reopen the government as Thune continues his war of attrition style plan of bringing the same bill back again and again to the Senate floor.Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said there are plenty of Senate Democrats not up for reelection to "walk the plank like I have multiple times" to help the GOP and fund the government."And then the discussions start, that simple," he said. "And why on earth should we give them any kind of political cover or leverage, when they should have never Chuck Schumer should have never led this conference into this sort of quagmire, when all we were asking that they do is fund the government at current levels and basically do what they've done before, because they voted for these funding levels before."

After experiencing limited playing time while backing up Quinn Ewers for his first two years at Texas, Arch Manning opened his first season as a full-time starter in late August.He proceeded to throw for 170 yards in the Longhorns' season-opening loss to Ohio State. Texas recovered from the defeat, winning its next three games in a row. However, a disappointing showing in a loss to Florida in Week 6 prompted more questions about whether the once highly-touted Manning would live up to expectations in Austin.Former Texas running back and current Atlanta Falcons star Bijan Robinson weighed in on Manning's turbulent start to the 2025 season. Robinson advised the signal-caller to "stay consistent," tune out the noise and lean on his support system.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I would say just continue to stay consistent," Robinson said during a recent appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show."TEXAS STAR ARCH MANNING RECEIVES BIG VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FROM 'CHAD POWERS' ACTOR GLEN POWELL"Stay consistent as much as possible. Don't listen to the media, 'cause the media can either steer you in the right direction or it'll tarnish you for your career. For him, always know that everybody has his back in that building. Coach (Steve Sarkisian) seems to have his back; everybody around him has his back."Texas' 55-0 win over Sam Houston State in Week 4 marked Manning's best performance so far this season. He finished the game with 309 passing yards, three touchdown passes and a pair of rushing scores.However, this past Saturday, Florida's defense largely held Manning in check. He finished the 29-21 loss with two touchdowns and two interceptions.In five starts this year, Manning has thrown for 1,151 yards and 11 touchdowns with five interceptions. Manning's mobility has also flashed this season. He has racked up 160 yards on the ground and five rushing touchdowns.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Surveillance video recorded at a home near the Idaho student murders crime scene shows Bryan Kohberger's car roaring away from the scene after he killed four University of Idaho undergrads in a home invasion stabbing attack in November 2022.A white sedan, believed to be Kohberger's Hyundai Elantra, appears repeatedly before the murders as he circled the neighborhood.

President Donald Trump said that he expects Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., will retire because he doesnt believe the senator can win in a primary.Trumps comments come as hes sparred with Schumer and other Democratic leaders like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., over a partial government shutdown that has continued into its ninth day Thursday.As a result, Trump said that Schumer and Jeffries are "holding the entire federal government hostage."
