„More than 670 bodies of #WestBank residents have been confiscated by Israel for years, in violation of #internationallaw. Their families hope that the return of all the bodies of Israelis held in Gaza by #Hamas will prompt the Israeli authorities to soften their stance.“

„Israeli Prime Minister … Netanyahu announced that the body of Ran Gavili, described as the last Israeli hostage in Gaza, has been recovered. Speaking in Jerusalem, Netanyahu declared that “there are no more hostages in Gaza” and said the next phase of Israel’s strategy would focus on the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip, rather than reconstruction.“

„The retrieval of Gvili may bring closure to his #family and it finally ends Israel's hostage agony after 843 days.

It also opens the way for further progress in Gaza's ceasefire deal. Israel had resisted moving forward until Gvili was found.
Phase two is meant to involve the reconstruction and full demilitarisation of Gaza, including the disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian groups.“
