Israel Demands Hamas Return All Remaining Hostages

Israel is demanding that Hamas return all remaining hostages, according to a government spokesperson. The call comes after only seven deceased hostages were returned out of the expected 28, despite the release of 20 living hostages as part of a U.S.-brokered deal.

"Hamas is required to fulfill its commitments to the mediators and return all our hostages within the framework of the implementation of this agreement," the spokesperson stated.

Furthermore, the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip is expected to reopen tomorrow, Thursday, with the deployment of a European Union mission.
