Israel accuses Hamas of ceasefire violation over unidentified body exchange
dw.com —
Israel's military, the IDF, stated that one of the four bodies exchanged with Hamas is unidentified and not that of hostage Shiri Bibas, contrary to Hamas claims. This has been labeled a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement. Hamas returned the bodies as part of a ceasefire deal, but the IDF confirmed that no matches were found for any hostages. The bodies of Bibas' two sons were also included in the exchange. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is hosting a meeting of Gulf leaders, Egypt, and Jordan to discuss a reconstruction plan for Gaza. This plan is expected to counter a previous proposal by the U.S. regarding the territory.
