Read Original Source
Hamas says it needs specialised equipment to recover the remaining bodies of the hostages The US has downplayed claims that Hamas is violating the ceasefire deal with Israel by not returning all the bodies of dead hostages. Only nine of the 28 dead hostages have been returned, with Hamas saying it needs time and specialised equipment to recover the others from the ruins of Gaza.
AI Summary
Main Idea: The US says Hamas has not clearly broken the Gaza ceasefire deal, even though only some of the dead hostages have been returned and Israel is threatening new action.
Key Points:
- Hamas says it needs special equipment and more time to recover the remaining bodies from Gaza’s ruins.
- US advisers said Hamas returned all living hostages and is still working to find the dead, so the US does not yet see a deal breach.
- Israel says Hamas must return all hostage remains and has limited some aid to Gaza while warning it may renew military action.
- The Hostages Families Forum welcomed the return of two bodies but said the families will not rest until all hostages are brought home.
