Negotiations for Phase B of Ceasefire on Hold until All Hostage Remains Returned
(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - No negotiations will begin on phase B of President Trump's plan until Hamas returns all the bodies of the kidnapped hostages, senior Israeli officials said Wednesday. "Professional teams are currently in Egypt discussing methods for locating the bodies of the kidnapped fallen." Turkey has also sent a delegation of 81 search personnel to Gaza, along with necessary equipment and vehicles, to assist in locating the bodies. Israel does not intend to allow Hamas to "drag out" the process of returning the bodies of the fallen. The U.S. has also made clear to mediators that it opposes any delays in the return of the bodies.
