Two more hostage bodies handed over by Hamas

Israel has said they will not compromise and won't stop their efforts until the last body is returned.

Two more bodies have been handed over by Hamas to Israel following accusations of Hamas violating the ceasefire agreement.

Hamas was accused by not returning all dead bodies of the hostages.

Hamas was warned by US President Donald Trump to disarm now or be forced to do so.

“If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. And it will happen quickly and perhaps violently,” he said.

It was announced by Israel that the amount of humanitarian trucks allowed into Gaza would be halved as punishment. Hamas claimed they have handed over all bodies that could be found and that special equipment would be needed to find the other bodies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that the ceasefire deal requirements were to be fulfilled by Hamas, saying that Israel wouldn’t compromise and won’t reduce their efforts until all the deceased hostages are returned.

The two bodies which were returned are presumed to be hostages, leaving 19 other bodies remaining in Gaza.
