Israel has reportedly rejected a proposal by mediators to form a multinational team, including representatives from Turkey and Qatar, to recover the bodies of deceased hostages in Gaza. Instead, only an Egyptian search team has been allowed to enter the Strip, following Israel's objections to Turkish and Qatari involvement. Diplomats say the Egyptian team lacks the advanced capabilities needed for the mission and has not yet succeeded in retrieving additional hostages. Israel maintains that the militant group in control of Gaza knows the locations of the remaining hostages and is delaying their recovery.
