Israel finds the last Gaza hostage remains, circle closes

Israel says it recovered the remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage whose remains were believed to be in Gaza, marking the end of Israeli hostages in Gaza since 2014. Forensic identification allowed burial, and Netanyahu called it an outstanding accomplishment, while Hamas framed it as proof of commitment to the ceasefire’s first phase. The Rafah crossing was to reopen for pedestrians after the search, with EU oversight and conditions tied to the ceasefire terms.
