Israel says Hamas will pay “full price” to hand over the remains of Gaza women, rather than hostage Shiri Bibas

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to make Hamas pay a “full price” for what he calls “cruel and evil violations” Gaza ceasefire Agreement after Israeli and US designated terrorist group returns the body of a Gaza woman Not Israeli mother Take hostages with her two children.

Israeli officials said late Thursday evening that Hamas handed over the body of an unidentified Gaza woman earlier in the day, rather than expected Shiri Bibas's remains. A switchover under a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on January 19, Hamas was supposed to return to the body with her two killed sons Ariel, 4 and Kfir on Thursday in Bibas, who was in nine months Big is the youngest of 251 Israelis in the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.

The child's remains returned with the corpse of ODED LIFSHITZ, 83, but Netanyahu said Hamas was not the remains of Shiri Bibas, but “putting the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin”.

“May the divine memories of oded lifshitz and Ariel and Kfir Bibas always etched in the center of the country,” he said. “May God take revenge on their blood. We will also take revenge.”

Hamas has Claimed since November 2023 Shiri Bibas, her children and Lifshitz were both killed in the Israeli bombing in Gaza, and some militants took them prisoners. Child father Yarden Bibas was not with his family on October 7, but was taken away separately. He is Released earlier this month After 16 months of imprisonment.

Hamas noted in a statement Friday that another agency the day before could be a mistake, claiming that “there is a possibility of error or overlapping corpses that could be caused by the occupation and bombing of the site by the family. where.”

The statement said Hamas will look at “fully serious statements” and we will clearly announce the results”, adding that the organization hopes to “recognize our serious and full commitment to all our obligations that we have passed in the past We have no interest in the days [to the ceasefire terms] Or keep any body with us. ”

Hamas calls on Israel to return the body of the unidentified Gaza woman to the extinct Palestinian territory.

The incident, along with previous hostage handovers, saw a large number of equipped Hamas terrorists and civilians crowding around the Israelis, for example, on Thursday, a huge propaganda poster behind the coffin of a hostage hiding Still depicting Netanyahu as a bloody vampire that has aroused anger from Israeli officials and the Trump administration.

The international community is also increasingly criticizing the handover, including the Red Cross, which has promoted the physical transfer of hostages and the dead in Gaza. Global organizations said in a Friday statement to Reuters that it was “focused and dissatisfied” with the way it was issued.

“The ICRC does not participate in classification, screening or checking the deceased – this is the responsibility of the parties to the conflict,” according to Reuters. “It is not done in a private and solemn way.”

UN Secretary-General António Guterres also issued a statement condemning the “carcasses and display of coffin hostages of the deceased Israeli hostages. Under international law, any transfer of bodies of the deceased must be subject to prohibited. Cruel, Inhuman or degraded treatment ensures respect for the dignity of the deceased and their families.”

Regardless of any intentionality of Hamas, the handover of the wrong body and Israel’s harsh reaction to it made the already catastrophic ceasefire even more dangerous in the dangerous position on Friday, set just a week before the first six-week phase of the deal. To end. Under the terms of the agreement, there will be a total of 33 Israeli hostages in the first phase, and the last six should be released on Saturday.

There is no immediate indication of a planned release on Saturday, and the corresponding release of Israel involves more Palestinian prisoners from prison, which will not continue.

The talk is to hammer the second phase of the clause, which will begin in early March and should start a few weeks ago, but there is no sign that Israel, Hamas or the United States and its regional partners Qatar and Egypt will help negotiate a ceasefire, which is possible Progress made may or no progress has been made.

Netanyahu, under constant pressure from some far-right members of the cabinet, ended the ceasefire and resumed Israeli military operations in Gaza, stressed that the goal of the war has always been to disarm, if not destroy. Hamas. In this goal, the Israeli government appears to support the Trump administration.

In an interview Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Hamas, “evil, terrible people, and they will forever be allowed to continue to possess weapons and be militarized and control any of the world.” The idea of ​​a local territory is incredible.

He said: “As long as Hamas is in Gaza, there will never be peace in Gaza because they will return to attack Israel and Israel will have to respond.”

However, dozens of Israeli hostage families are still occupied in Gaza, but people are eager to see the battle. On Friday, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Kibbutz Nir Oz, quoted a statement that the community kidnapped the community of Bibas children and their mothers, said It is “the clear requirement of the Bibas family released at this time: Issuance: No revenge”.

Quoted by the Kibutz community, “The state must bring Shiri back in a certain way, which will not hinder the continuation of the transaction and the immediate release of all hostages.”

“Hamas is a murder organization that kills babies and young children without hesitation. Our expectations come from the Israeli government, which must act immediately to release all 70 hostages from the murderer immediately and end the ongoing failure.”

Hostages and Missing Family Forum represents the families of all Israelis captured in the October 7 terrorist attack, he said in another statement that it was “shocked and destroyed by the news” and that the remains of “Shiri Bibas” were not return.

“For the world, we say: Don't look away. Every minute from this nightmare is the death penalty for those living, and a threat to our ability to bring back the proper funeral of the fallen.

“Israel and the international community must firmly ensure that the agreement is maintained in the event of smart and urgent action to address these blatant violations,” the organization said. “Every step must be taken with caution to ensure the safe return of all hostages. ”

The forum made a specific plea to President Trump, thanking him for his “strong support and strong position in the fight against terrorism” and calling on U.S. leaders to “continue to stand with us and demand immediate return to all hostages.”
