"IDF Recovers Body of Israeli Hostage Killed in Gaza, Cease-Fire Talks to Resume"

Israel recovers the body of a hostage killed in Gaza and prepares for new cease-fire negotiations while the toll of the ongoing offensive in Gaza continues to rise, with tens of thousands dead and over a million Palestinians displaced. The U.N. humanitarian chief warns of a potential famine, and international efforts are underway to secure a cease-fire, release hostages, and provide humanitarian aid. Hamas insists on a phased end to the war and demands the return of displaced people and increased humanitarian aid, while Israel faces criticism for civilian casualties and its proposed evacuation plan for Gaza's southern city of Rafah.
