US warns Hamas of severe consequences over failure to return Shiri Bibas' body

The U.S. has warned Hamas of "total annihilation" if they do not return the body of Shiri Bibas. This follows Hamas's failure to provide her remains, instead delivering an unidentified body. Adam Boehler, a U.S. envoy, demanded the immediate release of all hostages, living or dead. He criticized Hamas for violating agreements by not returning Shiri's body and suggested that Israel should coordinate demands through other countries. Israeli officials confirmed that the bodies of Shiri's children were identified, but the body received was not hers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Hamas would face consequences for this violation.
