Israel has informed mediators that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad can access the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last hostage in Gaza, and has demanded action to retrieve and return his body. Talks in Cairo also focused on the next phase of the United States peace plan for Gaza, with mediators suggesting Hamas is interested in advancing the ceasefire-hostage agreement, though official statements from the group insist on keeping their weapons. Meanwhile, several Muslim-majority countries have voiced concern over Israel's plan to open the Rafah crossing for one-way exit of Palestinians, rejecting any forced displacement and urging for the crossing to be open in both directions. The Israeli military continues operations in Gaza, targeting terror operatives and demolishing tunnels, as loud blasts from these activities are reported in central Israel.
