Hamas has announced it will return the body of Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin, who was killed in 2014 and whose remains have been held in Gaza for over a decade. The handover, expected Sunday afternoon, marks a significant moment in a United States-brokered truce and brings closure to Goldin's family, who have campaigned for his return. Goldin's body was reportedly found in a tunnel in Rafah, and his release comes amid ongoing negotiations and tensions, with reports suggesting Hamas sought to use the return to negotiate for the safe passage of militants trapped in Rafah. The exchange is part of a broader agreement in which militants are expected to return all deceased hostages' remains, while Israel has been releasing the bodies of Palestinians in return. Since the ceasefire began, 23 hostages' remains have been released, and hundreds of bodies have been exchanged between the two sides.
