GAZA – ISRAEL – SAUDI ARABIA

Israeli troops in Gaza received the remains of another alleged hostage that Hamas handed over to the Red Cross late yesterday evening. If identified, 18 bodies of dead hostages remain in the Gaza Strip after there were 28 at the start of the current ceasefire.

Israel has accused Hamas of deliberately holding some of the bodies, while Hamas says it is unable to locate them due to the level of destruction in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Trump claims that Saudi Arabia has informed him of its willingness to join the Abraham Accords – signed in 2020 by Israel, the United States and the United Arab Emirates.
