Does dispute over return of Israeli captives’ remains threaten Gaza truce?

Does dispute over return of Israeli captives’ remains threaten Gaza truce?

Mas claims that to remove corpses from the rubble, heavy machinery is required.

Within 72 hours of ratifying the ceasefire with Israel, Hamas agreed to release all of the Israeli prisoners, including the living and the dead.

18 bodies have not yet been handed over, and it has been more than a week.

The Palestinian organization wants the remains to be recovered using powerful machinery.

Israel claims that Hamas is dragging its feet, while Israel accuses Israel of purposefully halting the search.

Palestinians in Gaza are dependent on the return of Israel’s dead, in all likelihood.

Will Israel retake the conflict? And is America ready to approve of it?
