Hebrew Channel: A Joint International Team Will Enter Gaza Within the Next 24 Hours to Search for Israeli Bodies

SadaNews Translation - Channel 13 reported this Thursday evening that a team from the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey will enter the Gaza Strip within the next 24 hours.

The channel indicated, as translated by SadaNews, that the team's mission is to search for the bodies of kidnapped Israelis in areas that will be designated by Israel based on its intelligence information regarding their locations.

It noted that the Qatari side has prepared the necessary engineering equipment for this purpose.

This follows an Israeli political official's statement that, in coordination with the United States and intermediaries, Israel is exerting pressure to complete the phase of retrieving all the captives held by Hamas.

The official added: Israel has shared with the intermediaries the intelligence information it possesses to determine the location of the remaining bodies and complete this operation.

In response to a question posed to her, White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt, when asked whether President Donald Trump had set a new deadline for Hamas, answered that Weitkoff and Kushner are actively working and talking to both sides to find all the bodies of the hostages.

She noted concerns that the bodies may be buried deep beneath the rubble, requiring special equipment.

She emphasized the U.S. administration's commitment to implementing the ceasefire agreement and the exchange of hostages.

Meanwhile, Axios reported that Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer discussed over a phone call with Weitkoff and Kushner the issue of the hostages' bodies and the continuation of the Gaza War cessation agreement.

The site noted that the commander of Central Command participated in the phone call between Dermer, Weitkoff, and Kushner.

It highlighted that the United States assured Israel of its interest in continuing to implement the Gaza agreement despite the delays in retrieving the bodies of the hostages.
