Hamas released the body of 84-year-old Oded Lifshitz in a grisly ceremony, accusing Israel of killing Shiri Bibas and her sons with USA bombs. The United Nations Secretary-General condemned the handover of the remains, stating it violated international law. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to act decisively to bring Shiri home and ensure Hamas pays for violating the agreement. The fragility of the ceasefire agreement reached with Qatari and Egyptian mediators last month was highlighted by this incident. Six living hostages are expected to be released from Hamas captivity, while far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the destruction of Hamas after explosions on buses in central Israel, suspected to be a militant attack. The ongoing military operations in the West Bank, part of Israel’s “Iron Wall” operation, have displaced thousands, destroyed water networks, and restricted movement, according to the International Rescue Committee and UNRWA. The forced displacement of Palestinian communities in the West Bank’s north is escalating at an alarming pace, raising concerns about the future of the ceasefire agreement and the stability of the region.
