The Associated Press reports that Israel plans to cut aid deliveries in half due to Hamas's delays in returning hostages. Phase one of the deal calls for the return of all hostages, living and dead.
A ceasefire has been negotiated by the President of the United States and his team between Israel and the remnants of Hamas, leading to the release of 20 live hostages and 28 dead bodies held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This is seen as a near-miraculous move by President Trump, who was able to mobilize the entire world, including the Arab world.
The Israeli ceasefire, though not fully adhered to, has not been scrapped, and living hostages are expected to be returned to Israel by midday on Monday. Israel has published a list of 250 names it will release after the hostages are returned.
Hamas is ready to enter negotiations through mediators to discuss the details of the hostage release.
Hamas is claiming that they don't have the bodies of the 28 deceased hostages. The remaining hostages who are supposed to be handed over those corpses apparently are dispersed across the Gaza Strip.
President Trump brokered an unthinkable deal: the release of the final 20 live Israeli hostages all at once, contrary to expectations that Hamas would prolong the process.
The Israeli cabinet has approved an agreement to stop the war in Gaza. This agreement includes Israel pulling back to a predefined border and the release of 20 live hostages and 28 dead hostages within 72 hours of a ceasefire. Hamas claims this is the end of the war, but the United States says it could be if Hamas disarms and hands over governance.
Hamas has agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages, including the bodies of any deceased hostages, as part of President Trump's peace plan.
The atrocities in Gaza have resulted in tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians being killed, and Hamas continues to hold 20 hostages. This is a ceasefire, not peace, and it's irresponsible for corporate news to suggest otherwise.
Hamas communicated to mediators that it didn't know the locations of all the deceased hostages' bodies, leading to an agreement to establish an international task force for recovery.
