Netanyahu promises accountability after Hamas returns wrong body of deceased hostage
Hamas returned the wrong body of a deceased hostage, Shiri Bibas, during a recent exchange, according to Israeli forensics. The casket contained an unidentified Palestinian woman instead of Bibas, sparking outrage in Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to hold Hamas accountable for this mistake. He stated that Israel would work to recover Bibas and all hostages, both living and deceased. Despite the controversy, Hamas completed a separate hostage exchange, releasing six living Israeli hostages in return for nearly 500 Palestinians. The ceasefire is now in its second phase, but tensions remain high.
