Israel marks the return of the final hostage's remains after more...

Israel marked the end of a painful chapter as the remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage held in Gaza, were returned and identified, prompting the removal of yellow ribbons and the stopping of the Hostages Square clock in Tel Aviv. The recovery of Gvili's body, following a complex forensic effort and intelligence breakthrough, fulfilled a key part of the ceasefire agreement that required the return of hostages and remains. The process was fraught with disputes over the handling of graves and the role of militant groups in providing information, while Palestinians in Gaza expressed frustration over ongoing hardships and the slow reopening of border crossings. As the ceasefire moves into its next phase, uncertainty remains about the future of Gaza, the return of displaced residents, and the prospects for reconstruction and peace.
