Overview
- President Donald Trump said U.S. intelligence believes it has identified the likely location of Ran Gvili’s remains in the Gaza Strip.
- Gvili’s family and hostage advocacy groups insist that no next-phase measures in the truce proceed until his body is returned.
- Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said the group provided all available details to mediators and accused Israel of delaying searches beyond designated areas.
- Israeli officials have linked advancement to phase two of the deal to the return of all remains, and there has been no public confirmation of a recovery or handover.
