Hamas's Barbaric Display During the Return of Hostage Remains

In a disturbing development from Gaza, Hamas once again demonstrated its penchant for turning somber moments into propaganda spectacles. Earlier this week, the Islamist group announced the return of four deceased Israeli hostages, including a mother and her two young children kidnapped during the brutal October 7, 2023, attacks. Rather than a private or respectful transfer, Hamas transformed this somber event into a grotesque display, inviting local spectators and militants to witness the remains of the victims showcased on stage.
