Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is “determined” to bring back the bodies of hostages still held in Gaza. He made the remarks at a memorial for victims of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. His statement came after Hamas returned two more bodies, leaving 19 still missing. Netanyahu said Israel would continue to fight terrorism with “full force.” The Hostages Forum urged the government to halt the ceasefire until all bodies are returned. The US, however, said Hamas had not broken the deal and that efforts to locate more bodies are continuing in Gaza. (PC: BBC)
