Hamas Returns Two More Bodies but Says It Cannot Retrieve Remaining Dead Hostages
Under a ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump, Hamas returned 20 surviving hostages and the remains of all deceased it could access, freeing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
- On Oct 15, Hamas said it handed back the remains of all deceased hostages it can reach, while the Israeli military said the Red Cross received two coffins for Israeli forces.
- Since Oct 13, the ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump saw Hamas return 20 surviving hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, with all 48 hostages to be handed over by Monday.

- There is domestic pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to tie aid to the bodies' fate, and Itamar Ben Gvir has threatened to cut off aid; Israel returned 45 Palestinian bodies Wednesday, totaling 90.
- US advisors said they are working with Israel to create `safe spaces` and pursue de-confliction so aid can flow and reconstruction can begin, while Gaza residents hoard supplies and report prices up about 30%.
