Evening Brief: Trump May Appear on $1 Coin, Hamas Agrees to Release Hostages, Multiple Drone Sightings Disrupt Denmark

Hamas Says It Will Free All Hostages Under Trump Plan. The Catch Is In The Fine Print. Hamas says it is ready to release every remaining Israeli hostage, living and dead, under President Donald Trump’s new Gaza plan. That statement landed after internal consultations and came with an invitation to start mediated talks to lock down the terms. It is the first time the group has publicly tied a full release to a U.S. proposal laid out this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump’s twenty-point plan is blunt: immediate ceasefire, all hostages returned within seventy-two hours, Hamas disarmed, and governance in Gaza handed to a transitional technocratic body backed by Arab and Islamic partners. Hamas says it accepts key elements, wants further dialogue on others, and did not commit to disarmament. That is the core friction that could stall the deal. By the numbers, Israel and advocacy groups still count forty-eight hostages in Gaza, with about twenty believed alive. Hamas acknowledges some bodies may take longer to recover and verify, given the destroyed sites and shifting control on the ground. Those figures track with recent public tallies and with Hamas’s own caveats about “field conditions.”  Jerusalem’s initial posture is cautious. Israel is examining Hamas’s response while pressing its military options. Trump publicly called for Israel to halt strikes to enable a fast release; reporting in Israel suggests bombardment has slowed at times but not stopped as leaders study the offer and debate sequencing. The politics are volatile on both sides, and the timeline is tight if the seventy-two-hour clock starts on acceptance. Two strategic questions now hang over the table. First, enforcement. Any workable package will need verifiable steps that move in parallel: hostage releases matched to phased prisoner exchanges, supervised transfers of remains, and third-party monitors watching both truce lines and weapons caches. Second, the day after. Trump’s plan sketches a nonpartisan administration for Gaza with security guarantees from regional players, but it leaves a lot of operational detail to follow on talks. That is where plans like this usually bog down. Bottom line for readers: a door that was bolted for months cracked open. The math is cruel and the clock is louder than the rhetoric, but if negotiators can sequence the first exchanges and lock in outside guarantees, families could see movement within days. If disarmament remains a red line for one side and a nonstarter for the other, expect another cycle of partial pauses and broken deadlines.  Lots of “ifs”. For now, Hamas’s signal is real, conditional, and fragile. So is the window.   Central London right now – Pro-Hamas supporters – there will be trouble – Hamas is now walking back on the few elements of the deal it did agree too the main one being release of hostages within 72 hours – their games have started – they intend to pressure nations.

The lights went green on the runways, then went dark. On September 22, drones loitered over Copenhagen Airport and froze Scandinavia’s busiest hub. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called it the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure to date and did not rule out hostile state hands. That is a heavy line for a NATO capital to say out loud. The pattern did not fade with the sunrise. Within days, drones showed up near smaller Danish airports and at military facilities. Karup Air Base, the country’s largest, was among the confirmed locations. The defense ministry acknowledged multiple sightings and kept details tight for operational security. Street-level rumor filled the vacuum. Tip lines lit up. Some callers were seeing planets. Others were seeing something that behaved like a professional probe. Copenhagen responded like a country bracing for more. Ahead of an EU summit, Denmark banned civilian drone flights Monday through Friday to reduce clutter in the air picture and give security forces room to work. The language from officials sharpened. “Hybrid attack” entered the briefings. NATO, already stretched, shifted more eyes and sensors to Denmark and the Baltic approaches. The alliance flagged extra intelligence and surveillance assets, and at least one air defense frigate, while Danish F-35S sat cocked and ready at Skrydstrup. Moscow denied involvement. Danish leaders stopped short of naming a culprit. That is the gray zone. You can harass an airport, spook a base, and tie up a nation’s security resources without firing a shot. It is a thief’s crowbar at the window rather than a brick through the glass. Germany, Norway, and Lithuania reported their own drone headaches in the same window. This looks coordinated, or at least concurrent enough to get attention. Here is the bottom line. Denmark is treating this as more than a nuisance. Airports were halted. Bases were buzzed. The public flooded hotlines. Some sightings were noise, which always happens when the crowd turns its face to the sky. Enough were not. This is the kind of pressure campaign meant to test radar coverage, police procedures, and political will. If that is the game, it is already forcing NATO to spend time and fuel on counters. That is the point of hybrid work. You bleed your opponent in minutes and attention. Denmark is tightening the net. We will see who blinks first.   🚨Is this the clearest image of the Drones/UFO🛸 that are flying at will over the Denmark🇩🇰 & other Nordic countries.. pic.twitter.com/EKQ7zWfaly — UAPWixy (@UAPWixy) September 28, 2025
