The ‍return of ⁠all living and deceased hostages in Gaza ​completes a key condition of the initial part of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end ​the Gaza war. Sign up to receive the latest updates from U.

Returning the remains of Ran Gvili will close a painful chapter for Israelis and pave the way for President Trump’s peace plan to move forward.

The remains of the final hostage in Gaza have been recovered, Israel's military said Monday, clearing the way for efforts to rebuild Gaza and disarm Hamas in the next phase of the ceasefire that paused the Israel-Hamas war.

Israeli teams were combing through a Gaza cemetery Monday for the remains of the final hostage in Gaza, the military said, after Hamas claimed it had done all required of it under the ceasefire agreement to search the side of the territory not controlled by troops.

Returning all of the hostages was a key condition of the first phase of the Gaza deal brokered by President Donald Trump.

The remains of the last hostage held in Gaza have been identified, the Israeli military said Monday, ending a more than two-year saga for captives' families in Israel — and paving the way for the second phase of the ceasefire in the war-torn enclave.

The Israel's military says its troops are searching for the remains of Ran Gvili, reportedly at a cemetery in northern Gaza.

The Israeli military says the body of Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old special forces policeman killed while fighting Hamas militants on Oct. 7, 2023, has been found.
