The US and Israel are waiting for Hamas to return dead captives from the 2023 conflict in Gaza. The US President has said Israeli forces could resume fighting if Hamas doesn’t uphold a ceasefire deal, including disarmament.
Hamas says it can access all hostage remains but needs special equipment to recover the rest. The group handed over nine of the 19 remaining dead hostages within the first 72 hours under the agreement. Israel is frustrated with the slow pace and considers several options if delays continue.
The US has provided intelligence support to locate the remaining bodies, including Turkey’s team of body-retrieval experts. The US is also considering offering monetary rewards for information leading to their recovery.
