🟡Following the completion of examinations at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages.

Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages.

21 are still held hostage.

While most are now home, 21 remain in Gaza - murdered by Hamas and denied the dignity of burial.

They and their families deserve better.

We will not stop until every one of them is home. 🕯️🎗️

Heartbroken but relieved Inbar Hayman is home - after 740 days in Hamas captivity. 💔

Inbar, 27, was murdered by Palestinian Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, at the Nova music festival and her body was kidnapped into Gaza.

Inbar was the last woman hostage held.

Inbar was a gifted graffiti artist known as PINK/RAVEN, who filled walls with color and life - as she did with the hearts of those around her. Her creativity and spirit left a mark that will never be erased.

Inbar is finally home. She will have a dignified burial - something denied to her for too long.

We stand with the Hayman family in their unbearable grief. May Inbar’s memory be a blessing.

Sergeant Major Muhammad Al-Atrash, 39, from Bedouin village Sa’wa, served as a tracker in the IDF. He fell in battle during the October 7 massacre, and his body was stolen by Hamas into Gaza. His death was pronounced on June 24, 2024. He left behind his parents, siblings, two wives, and 13 children.

We’re only at the beginning of President Trump’s 20 point plan

Hamas is preventing us from progressing to the next phase.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Truly honored to meet my good friend Italian Deputy PM and FM Antonio Tajani at the "MED Dialogues" that he's hosting in Napoli. I said that the only chance for stability in our region is by implementing the Trump Plan. Hamas is violating it by continuing to hold 19 of our dead hostages. We know that they have the ability to return our dead hostages, while they choose not to. This is severe. I also described Hamas's horrifying mass executions without trial of Palestinians in Gaza during the last days. It is barbaric!
The international community must speak out.
I thanked my friend for his warm friendship with Israel. 🇮🇱🇮🇹"

Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar delivered a statement ahead of his participation in a panel at the MED Conference in Naples, led by Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani:

"I told Deputy Prime Minister Tajani that Israel is committed to implementing the Trump Plan. We want the Trump Plan to succeed, and accordingly, we will act. But I also shared with the Minister some of the concerns and worries we have. The problem of our dead hostages — 19 of them are still being held by Hamas. And we know, as a matter of fact, they can easily bring back a significant number of dead hostages and to give them back according to the agreement. What they are doing right now - it's a fundamental breach of the agreement. We share our worries with our American friends and we expect the mediators to help us resolve this issue immediately. It's very important because it's also playing with families that suffered enough for more than two years."

While Israel embraces life, Hamas spreads violence. The ceasefire agreement stipulates Hamas lays down its arms, Gaza demilitarizes. The agreement must be implemented.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar made it clear that the Palestinian Authority has never stopped its "Pay for Slay" policy. Now, the PA is making additional payments to the terrorists released as part of the agreement. This must stop now!

Barely hours into a fragile ceasefire, Hamas turned its weapons on local opposition. Another reason why the agreement needs to be implemented.

Prime Minister's Office Announcement

Prime Minister's Office (translated from Hebrew):

Following the completion of the identification process by the National Center of Forensic Medicine, in cooperation with the Israel Police and the IDF Rabbinate, IDF representatives informed the family of the hostage Eliyahu Margalit, of blessed memory, that their loved one had been returned to Israel and his identification had been completed.

The Government of Israel shares in the deep sorrow of the Margalit family and all the families of the fallen hostages.

The Government and the entire establishment for the missing and the captives of the State of Israel are determined, committed, and working tirelessly to return all of our fallen hostages for proper burial in their country.

The Hamas terrorist organization is required to uphold its commitments to the mediators and return them as part of the implementation of the agreement. We will not compromise on this and will spare no effort until we return all of the fallen hostages, every last one of them.

May their memories be a blessing.

Heartbroken but relieved Eliyahu Margalit is home - after 742 days in Hamas captivity. 💔

Eliyahu was murdered by Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023. His body was taken into Gaza.

He is survived by his wife, Daphna, his children Noa, Danny & Nili and 3 grandchildren.

A pillar of Nir Oz, Eliyahu devoted his life to the kibbutz’s cattle - building its herd from 50 calves to thousands.

Every morning, he could be found feeding his beloved horses, also taken that day. Always tending. Always giving.

Finally home, for a proper burial - a dignity denied to him for too long.

We stand with the Margalit family in their unbearable grief.
May Eliyahu’s memory be a blessing. 🕯️
