President Isaac Herzog addressed the return for burial of two bodies of hostages, Yair Yaakov and another hostage whose name has not yet been cleared for publication. Herzog said he hopes their burial in Israel "will serve as a moment of resolving doubts and comfort for the families and the entire Nir Oz community." According to him, "We will continue to work for the return of all - the living for rehabilitation and to their families, and the deceased for burial in Israel - until the last one of them!"
