The latest developments in the Middle East conflict have once again increased tensions between Israel and Hamas. Israel has issued an ultimatum demanding that Hamas return all the hostages’ bodies and is threatening to resume hostilities in the Gaza Strip if this demand is not met. Defense Minister Israel Katz stressed that the existing agreement requires both the disarmament of Hamas and the release of all hostages, living or dead. This demand represents a critical condition for the continuation of the ceasefire.
Two more hostage bodies have already been handed over, but there are discrepancies between the 28 hostage bodies requested and the ten that have been handed over so far. Hamas says further recoveries will only be possible with extraordinary resources and equipment, contradicting Israeli authorities who suspect Hamas has access to at least 10 more bodies. These differences could further complicate negotiations.
The United States plays a mediating role in this conflict and has not yet accepted that Hamas has violated the agreement. Rather, according to mediators, Hamas has promised to do everything in its power to fulfill its duty. However, the situation remains tense as political hardliners on both sides could jeopardize the ceasefire agreement.
US President Donald Trump has signaled that Israel would be allowed to resume fighting with his permission if Hamas continues to fail to fully comply with the agreement. The Trump administration is committed to moving to the second phase of the deal, which includes a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas, subject to the full return of all hostage bodies. These developments could have far-reaching implications for the stability of the region.
