Part 7/15:
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, the fragile ceasefire brokered by the US in Gaza faces potential collapse. Israel has expressed concern after Hamas claimed to have returned all hostage remains it was able to recover, leaving many unaccounted for—more than half of the original number. The initial agreement required Hamas to release all living hostages and the bodies of those killed within 72 hours. While Hamas claims they've made efforts to locate remaining remains, Israel suspects deliberate delays and strategic foot-dragging to preserve bargaining leverage.
