"Renewed Pressure for Release Deal as IDF Retrieves Body of Israeli Hostage in Gaza"

The discovery of an Israeli hostage's body in Gaza has intensified pressure on Israel's government to secure the release of remaining hostages, as cease-fire negotiations are set to resume. The six-month war has resulted in thousands of deaths and over a million Palestinians displaced, with the U.N. warning of a potential famine. Both sides are preparing for talks, with Hamas seeking a phased end to the war linked to the release of hostages and the return of displaced people, while Israel has offered to allow the daily return of displaced Palestinians during a six-week cease-fire. The recent killing of humanitarian workers by Israeli airstrikes has drawn international condemnation, with the U.S. warning of potential consequences for future support.
