Last body of October 7 Israeli hostage coming home

On Monday, Israel recovered the remains of Ran Gvili from Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Gvili’s body is the last of 87 people who were killed in Hamas captivity, in addition to the 1,200 people murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday, “The government of Israel has completed its ethical and moral mission to bring all of the hostages back home, the living and the deceased.” Israel’s government has said that once the last remains of hostages were recovered, it would allow the reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. This also means that “Phase One” of United States President Donald Trump’s ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is now complete. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff had already declared “Phase Two” to be underway, still without comment from either Israel or Hamas. While the deal might seem to be progressing, its fundamental flaws are leading to even more terror, murder, captivity and deaths.
