United States President Donald Trump has stated that the mission to secure the return of hostages from Gaza is not yet complete, as the bodies of deceased captives have not been returned as agreed. While all living hostages have been released, only a few of the bodies have been handed over, falling short of the terms set in the recent deal between Israel and Hamas. Trump announced that 'phase two' of his plan is now beginning, which he says will focus on the post-war reconstruction and governance of Gaza, though these steps have not yet been formally agreed upon by all parties involved. The situation remains tense as negotiations continue over the return of the remaining bodies and the next steps for Gaza's future.
