Israel receives coffin that Hamas says contains Gaza hostage's body

Israel has received a coffin from Hamas, which the group claims contains the body of a hostage taken from Gaza. This follows confusion over the identity of remains previously handed over, which did not match either of the two dead hostages still unaccounted for. The exchange is part of a ceasefire deal that saw hostages and prisoners released on both sides, but the process of returning bodies has been slow, with accusations of delays and difficulties in locating remains. The ongoing situation has stalled further progress on broader peace plans for Gaza, as the aftermath of the October attack and subsequent military campaign continues to unfold.
