Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue pressuring Hamas to return the remaining dead Israeli and foreign hostages whose bodies are still being held in Gaza. In a statement at a memorial ceremony for victims of last month's Hamas-led attack, Netanyahu expressed his determination to secure the safe return of all 19 hostages who were taken captive during the violence.
Netanyahu's comments came hours after Hamas returned the bodies of two more hostages, bringing the total number of dead hostages returned to nine out of 28. However, the group has stated that it is unable to access the remaining remains due to Israeli restrictions on accessing certain areas of the Gaza Strip.
The delay in returning all the bodies has sparked tension between Israel and Hamas, with some calling for Netanyahu's government to reconsider its stance on the ceasefire deal. The Israeli prime minister, however, has reiterated his commitment to continuing the fight against terrorism, saying that "evil will not be allowed to raise its head" as long as Israel remains vigilant.
Meanwhile, the US has signaled a willingness to intervene in the conflict, with President Donald Trump stating that if Hamas continues to kill people, the US "will have no choice but to go in and kill". The US president's comments were made on his Truth Social platform, where he also warned of the consequences of not taking action against Hamas.
The international community has been watching the situation closely, with many calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. However, with tensions running high, it remains to be seen how this crisis will play out in the coming days and weeks.
