Hebrew Channel: Israel is Determined to Retrieve the Body of the Last Captive Before Moving to the Second Phase

SadaNews Translation - Channel 12 reported this Thursday evening that Israel is determined to return the body of the last captive it holds before moving to the second phase of the ceasefire.

According to the Hebrew channel, as translated by SadaNews, the Israeli delegation that visited Cairo yesterday discussed the necessity of retrieving the body and provided intermediaries with new information regarding the location of the body belonging to Officer Ron Gfili.

It indicated that the United States is pressing for progress towards the second phase.

According to the channel, U.S. President Donald Trump will urge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their meeting to move towards the second phase even if the disarmament of Hamas does not begin immediately.

In another report from the channel, it cited an American source saying that Israel is procrastinating in implementing the second phase and occasionally violating the ceasefire, as Trump will present Netanyahu with the number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza since the ceasefire to urge him to exercise restraint.

According to the channel, the outcomes of the Miami meeting confirmed that disarmament will occur gradually starting with heavy weapons, and that by the beginning of next month, announcements will be made regarding international forces and a technocrat government, and by the end of the month, a peace council will convene.
