Trump Calls Israel–Hamas Ceasefire 'Very Solid' as Israel Receives Three Hostage Bodies

Overview

• Speaking on CBS' 60 Minutes, the president said the U.S.-brokered pause is stable and asserted he could force Hamas to disarm very quickly.
• Benjamin Netanyahu announced the handover of three deceased hostages' bodies from Gaza, extending a phased return that has lagged in recent weeks.
• Before the latest transfer, Israel said multiple remains were still in Gaza as Hamas cited devastation and limited access to DNA kits for delays.
• The Israel Defense Forces said it renewed enforcement of the truce after alleged Hamas violations, as Associated Press tallied 104 deaths, including 46 children, from Israeli strikes last week.
• Trump said he pushed Netanyahu to accept the deal and described ordering June U.S. strikes on suspected Iranian nuclear sites, claiming Iran now has no nuclear capability.
