Hostage and Missing Persons Coordinator Gal Hirsch provided an update to the families of the hostages following Hamas' violation of the agreement, having returned only four hostage bodies yesterday. "Pressure on Hamas to continue and complete the return of the bodies continues and will intensify," Hirsch wrote. "The issue was discussed yesterday during the Prime Minister's conversations with President Trump, who commented on the matter, and was also reflected in the statements of Egyptian President el-Sisi." Hirsch noted that "the issue is also being addressed with additional international entities and our actions with mediators continue at this very hour."
