The United States is working to ensure all of the hostages’ bodies are recovered from Gaza, according to White House officials.
While the remaining 20 living hostages have already been released by the terrorist group Hamas, concerns have been raised about the recovery of hostages who died in captivity. Israel said that the terrorist group was not returning the bodies fast enough, and that it sent a random body claiming it was one of the hostages.
