Reliable sources revealed that Hamas only identified the place where between 9 and 15 bodies of the dead hostages were buried. Therefore, the US intention to return the 48 hostages to Israel all together would no longer be possible.
The Israeli army has a scanning process ready for the coffins in which the remains of the dead hostages will be delivered, to detect that there are no explosives inside.
Then, an Israeli forensic team will recognize the identity of the deceased by taking DNA samples and subsequently comparing them with samples from immediate family members.

A fragile political balance
The political context in Israel and the region remains fragile. Netanyahu faces internal and external pressures to complete the complete release of the hostages and move towards a diplomatic solution, while the Arab governments demand security guarantees for Palestinians.
“No one wants to go back to point zero,” commented a European diplomat. “But everyone knows that lasting peace in Gaza will require more than hostage swaps.”
With the world’s gaze on the regionthe next 24 hours will be decisive. If the release goes ahead as planned, the deal could mark the start of a new stage of regional negotiationswith the Post-conflict Gaza as a central axis.
