Israel said Monday it identified the body of the final Israeli hostage in Gaza and returned it to Israel, paving the way for the long-awaited next steps in President Trump’s peace plan.The military said it launched a “large-scale operation” for his body over the weekend in a cemetery in northern Gaza, acting based on intelligence. The process required exhuming the bodies of deceased Palestinians until the team, including dental experts, identified Gvili’s remains. The return of Gvili’s remains is expected to mark the end of the first phase of the U.S.-backed ceasefire in the war in Gaza. It could also pave the way for another big step. The Israeli government said it would allow Gaza’s border crossing with Egypt to reopen again for Palestinians to enter and exit. It would mark the first time for that border to partially open since May 2024, when Israeli forces took over southern Gaza and the area of Rafah. Do you think that Gaza will be turned into Israel territoy with Gazans being made laborers?
