Does dispute over return of Israeli captives’ remains threaten Gaza truce? – The daily world bulletin
Inside Story

Does dispute over return of Israeli captives’ remains threaten Gaza truce?

Hamas says it needs heavy machinery to retrieve bodies from under the rubble.

Hamas agreed to return all of the Israeli captives – both the living and the dead – within 72 hours of signing a ceasefire deal with Israel.

It has been more than a week, and 18 bodies have yet to be handed over.

The Palestinian group is calling for heavy machinery to retrieve the remains.

It accuses Israel of purposely hampering the search, while Israel insists that Hamas is dragging its feet.

All the while, the lives of Palestinians in Gaza depend on the return of Israel’s dead.

Will Israel resume the war? And is the US prepared to give it the green light?
