🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "We have a very strong PEACE in the Middle East, and I believe it has a good chance of being EVERLASTING.

Hamas is going to have to start returning the bodies of the deceased hostages, including two Americans, quickly, or the other Countries involved in this GREAT PEACE will take action. Some of the bodies are hard to reach, but others they can return now and, for some reason, they are not. Perhaps it has to do with their disarming, but when I said, “Both sides would be treated fairly,” that only applies if they comply with their obligations.

Let’s see what they do over the next 48 hours. I am watching this very closely," - President Donald Trump.

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 - Trump has begun repeating Likud-talking points. Likud had previously accused Hamas of holding against delivering deceased Israeli hostages, even though the locations of some are allegedly known to the group. Likud claims Hamas is buying time to prevent peace talks from proceeding to Phase Two – the phase in which Hamas disarms.

Hamas, as well as all three mediators, have rejected the Likud accusations as false, and that locations of the hostages are not known. Egypt reportedly sent teams earlier today to assist with finding the Israeli bodies in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas have so far delivered 15 hostage bodies, with 13 remaining in the strip. According to media reports, Hamas have recently found two further bodies.
