The Israeli military announced on Monday that the body of the last hostage in Gaza had been recovered. The Israeli army was carrying out an operation for several days to search for the hostages. Meanwhile, the body of police officer Ran Givili was found in the cemetery. With this, the way has been cleared to proceed with the next phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Gvili was killed in a Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, which triggered the war. Gwili was among the first people taken to Gaza. The promise to bring back all the hostages has been fulfilled. Gwili’s family had earlier appealed to the government not to enter into a second phase of the ceasefire until his body was recovered. Hamas has said it is committed to adhering to all the conditions of the first phase of the ceasefire. US President Donald Trump said on social media that the return of the body of the last hostage is an important step towards peace in the Middle East. White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said that this is a major diplomatic achievement for America, Israel and the entire world. This will help in moving towards peace in the Middle East. He noted that more than 20 new countries have also signed up to join the newly formed Peace Board regarding the reconstruction of Gaza, which is another historic achievement for the President.
