The father of one of the two slain Israeli-American hostages whose bodies are still held by Hamas praised President Trump for his “strong leadership” Friday after the terror group agreed to release the captives — but cautioned the situation could still go awry.

Long Island resident Ronen Neutra, the dad of 21-year-old Omer Neutra, also said Trump should win a Nobel peace prize if a deal is actually struck between Israel and the terror group to end the nearly two-year conflict in Gaza. 

“Hopefully we can see our son back with the other 47 hostages. The details can go wrong. We’ve been there before,” he said in a statement to The Post.

“So we’re not going to delude ourselves that this is really going to be the end of it, but we hope that it will be, and we think that President Trump has made a very bold and strong leadership stance, forcing both Israel and Hamas to finish the war and bring the hostages back. And if this is what’s going to happen, I think he deserves his Nobel Prize.”

Omer Neutra, an Israel Defense Forces platoon commander, was attacked by the Palestinian fighters on Oct. 7, 2023. Initially, he was believed to be taken alive until it was later revealed he was killed in the attack and his body was taken back to Gaza.

The other Israeli-American whose body remains with Hamas is 19-year-old Itay Chen. The IDF soldier was killed while serving on the Gaza border on Oct. 7 and his remains were dragged back to the Palestinian enclave.

Hamas said Friday that it’s agreed to release all Israeli hostages – 20 of whom are alive and 28 who are dead – once Israel pulls back its forces to the lines of engagement laid out in Trump’s peace plan.

The IDF is currently far into Gaza, nearing Gaza City.

The terror group also said it wants to negotiate other terms of Trump’s floated plan.

Ronen Neutra, who lives in Plainview, added in his statement he and his family will now wait and see if the deal comes together. 

“We’re hopeful that this is the beginning of the end, that Hamas gave a serious answer, that the threats of President Trump have echoed and they understand they have to give the hostages back and they’re not going to start fooling around with ‘We can’t do this, we can’t do that’ later on,” Neutra stated.

Neutra’s best friend, Raz Yona, said it would “mean so much” to the fallen soldier’s family and friends if they could give him a proper Jewish burial.

“I can’t even put it into words the way it would bring me to like, finally accepting it, first of all,” Yona told The Post. “And just being able to actually visit him would mean so much to me.”

He said he was cautiously optimistic the deal to bring the hostages home would proceed.

“There’s still a long way to go. And we’ve kind of had this rug pulled out from us before, many times before,” he said.

Friday’s development came as Trump gave Hamas a 6 p.m. Sunday deadline to agree to his peace deal that includes freeing the hostages, a staged withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, Hamas surrendering arms and the creation of a transitional government led by an international body.

The plan has been backed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A relative of a living hostage, 48-year-old Omri Miran, said he wasn’t optimistic about the possible breakthrough.

“They’re saying ‘Yes, but we want X, Y, Z.’ X, Y, Z, as President Trump made clear earlier this week, is not on the table, is not negotiable,” said Miran’s brother-in-law Moshe Lavi of Hamas.

“And so, to be honest with you, I’m not optimistic about this response,” he added.

“It provides Israel with a reason to reject it. I’m sure President Trump’s special envoy (Steve) Witkoff and the administration are going to convene and discuss it with their counterparts in Israel and see what they can salvage from the framework President Trump presented this week.”
