Hamas says it may never find the bodies of hostages in rubble

Fears are mounting that Hamas may not be able to locate all the bodies of Israeli hostages due for repatriation under the current ceasefire agreement. The group has until midday tomorrow to return the bodies of 28 deceased hostages, along with 20 living captives, as part of the first phase of the peace plan. A multinational task force led by Israel, the United States, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt is being formed to help find any missing bodies. President Donald Trump, who is set to arrive in Jerusalem, described the situation as a tragedy and will address the Israeli parliament before meeting freed hostages and regional leaders.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of refugees are returning to Gaza City, only to find their homes reduced to rubble. Hamas and other Palestinian groups have rejected any foreign governance over Gaza, complicating plans for a transitional administration. In Lebanon, President Joseph Aoun condemned recent Israeli strikes and called for a peace plan similar to Gaza's. The ongoing conflict continues to take a heavy emotional toll, with reports of suicides among survivors of previous attacks.
