US EditionIsrael assesses Hamas may not be able to return all remaining dead hostages: CNN
Israel says Hamas may not locate 7 to 15 dead hostages in Gaza due to factional control issues, complicating ceasefire talks and hostage return demands.
- Last week, three Israeli sources said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet has known for months that Hamas may not be able to return all remaining dead hostages in Gaza.
- United States negotiators say some hostages were held by Gaza factions outside Hamas's control, and Israeli sources say Hamas may not know or retrieve some remains.
- There are 20 hostages believed alive, with grave concerns for two of them, and uncertainty about deceased hostages resonates with Lieutenant Hadar Goldin and Ron Arad cases.
- Sources say Hamas might use uncertainty over dead hostages to delay ceasefire arrangements and demand a full Israeli military withdrawal, while heavy United States and regional pressure makes Netanyahu favor leverage over deal details.
- Critics including opposition leaders and families of hostages accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of undermining talks, while Natan Eshel wrote last week `there will be some Ron Arads`.
