Hamas Must Start Returning Hostage Remains or Face Consequences Within 48 Hours, Trump Warns

Trump demands Hamas return bodies of eight deceased hostages within 48 hours to uphold cease-fire and peace efforts, while diplomatic teams enter Gaza to assist recovery.

  • On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump pressed Hamas to return deceased hostages' bodies and issued a 48-hour ultimatum aboard Air Force One with Qatari leaders.
  • Hamas holds the remains of eight hostages and does not know the location of five others, while families of 13 Israeli hostages press for answers amid Israeli intelligence warnings.
  • Egypt's foreign team entered Gaza Saturday evening with two heavy engineering vehicles at sites provided by Israel to search for remains, while Israel denied entry this week to a Turkish rescue delegation of 81 personnel.
  • Washington is blocking Israeli plans for renewed strikes or re-arrests and pressing diplomatic measures to avoid jeopardizing the ceasefire, while officials warn excluding Hamas from Gaza's security may cause chaos.
  • Officials reported signs of serious effort Saturday to locate remains, and a multinational stabilization force for Gaza will be established soon with possible Qatar contributions.
