White House: We Are Close to Reaching an Agreement on the Release of Gaza Hostages

John Kirby, the spokesperson for the National Security Council at the White House, revealed on Monday that the United States believes an agreement for the release of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza is near. Kirby noted that he is not aware of any efforts to halt the U.S. government's reliance on technology companies owned by Elon Musk in response to anti-Semitic content on the social media platform "X," which is owned by him. Kirby stated, "I am not aware of any specific efforts to address our concerns about his companies' support for our national security system."
