Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, United States special envoy to the Middle East, spoke at a rally Saturday at the Tel Aviv plaza known as "Hostages Square."

Their remarks about the proposed ceasefire come just a day before President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Israel amid Hamas' expected release of the hostages as agreed upon under the deal.

Ivanka, during her brief remarks, shared a message from her father, claiming, "He stands with you always."

"And the president wanted me to share, as he has with so many of you personally, that he sees you, he hears you, he stands with you always. Always," Ivanka Trump said, whose comment were met with cheers of "Thank you, Trump" from the crowd.

Witkoff kicked off the address, calling for "peace, unity and hope."

He added that "miracles can happen -- peace born not out of politics, but out of courage, the courage of those who refuse to give up hope."

Kushner warned against a premature celebration of the hostages being released.

"We're not going to celebrate tonight. We're going to celebrate on Monday when phase one gets into conclusion," Kushner said.

The death toll in Gaza has risen by 151 in the last 24 hours, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The majority of the bodies recovered were from areas that were not safe for rescue crews to reach before the ceasefire.

"A number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them at this time," the health ministry said.
