Another obstacle to this ceasefire agreement is Israel’s declaration that a body recovered from Gaza on Thursday was not Shiri Bibas’s, as Hamas had claimed.
It was believed that Shiri, a mother of two, had given up her remains together with those of her kids.
Ariel and Kfir’s remains, who would have been five and two years old, could only be verified by forensic tests, according to the Israeli military, not their mother’s.
Ismail al-Thawabta, a Hamas spokesman, instead claimed that Hamas had “put the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin” alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
