The Hostages Forum has responded to recent remarks by a senior Qatari official regarding the ongoing Gaza deal, urging Qatar to focus on securing the release of the final two hostage bodies still held by Hamas. The forum emphasized that the core of the agreement was the return of all hostages, both living and deceased, and criticized mediators for not applying enough pressure on Hamas to fulfill its commitments. According to the forum, nearly two months have passed since the deal was signed, yet the remains of police officer Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak have not been returned. The organization insists that Hamas knows the location of all hostages and can recover them if it chooses, calling for renewed efforts to ensure their return.
