The Hostage and Missing Families Forum has issued a strong call for action following Hamas’ announcement that it will only return the bodies of four out of 28 deceased hostages.
According to a report by The Times of Israel on October 13, 2025, the forum insists that the Israeli government must halt the current agreement immediately until all fallen hostages are fully and completely released.
They argue that Hamas’ failure to honor the agreement demands a robust response from both the government and mediators involved in the negotiations.
The forum emphasizes that any agreement must be upheld by both parties. If Hamas does not fulfill its obligations, Israel should reciprocate by withholding its compliance.
The forum remains steadfast in its demand for the return of all 28 hostages, declaring that they will not abandon any individual, vowing to persist until every last hostage is accounted for.
Hamas recently informed mediators that it will release the bodies of Guy Illouz, Yossi Sharabi, Bipin Joshi, and Daniel Perez today.
However, the group admitted to uncertainty regarding the locations of some other deceased hostages’ bodies, which could delay their return to Israel.
This development has raised concerns about Hamas’s ability or willingness to comply fully with the agreement.
According to reports from the Kan public broadcaster, Israeli mediators are actively working to increase the number of bodies released today, engaging in intensive efforts to secure more returns.
The situation underscores the ongoing challenges in negotiations with Hamas, as the group’s partial compliance threatens to undermine the trust and progress made in the agreement.Continue, Full, Reading>>>>
