Visiting the Kiryat Gat US-Israeli headquarters of the multinational force overseeing the Gaza ceasefire, Netanyahu explains that Israel “wants to ensure that the goal agreed upon by President Trump and myself, with the consent of others — the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza — will be achieved.”
Hamas has said the return of the remaining bodies "may take some time" due to the destruction wrought in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the country's military to "carry out powerful strikes in Gaza," a statement from his office said, in response to alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas.
An official of the Israel Defense Forces told NBC News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for strikes in retaliation for a Hamas attack in Rafah.
