The truce with Hamas must end now that all living hostages have been returned, Itamar Ben-Gvir has said
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for the resumption of military operations in Gaza now that Hamas has returned the remaining living Israeli hostages.
On Sunday, Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire and carried out several airstrikes on what it called militant targets, killing at least 28 people, according to Reuters. Hamas has denied claims of ceasefire violations, saying it remains committed to the truce.
The release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners marked the first phase of the ceasefire brokered under US President Donald Trump’s peace plan earlier this month. Hamas freed the last 20 living captives and returned the remains of 12 others last week. The group said it had met its obligations but faced difficulties retrieving all the bodies due to Gaza’s devastation and continued Israeli control in some areas.
