Hamas delivered the bodies of three Israeli soldiers to the Red Cross on Sunday, a grim testament to its brutality and contempt for basic humanity.

The remains were transferred directly to Israel’s National Center for Forensic Medicine, where experts will confirm identities and ensure proper burial rites. No detail is being spared.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office announced that all families have been notified. “We will not rest until every hostage—living or dead—is safely home,” the statement declared. “We demand full compliance from Hamas, and we will hold them to account.”

Under last month’s ceasefire, Israel withdrew its forces from central Gaza. In return, Hamas vowed to return 20 living hostages and 28 deceased. So far, 20 survivors have come home, but only 19 sets of remains have been handed over. With this latest transfer, eight bodies still await release.

Hamas insists some remains lie buried beneath rubble. Yet drone footage obtained last week showed militants digging up remains only to rebury them moments later—pure theater designed to delay.

Israel’s Defense Forces have already launched targeted strikes in Gaza twice since the ceasefire began, responding swiftly to every provocation. There is no room for negotiations with a foe that weaponizes its own civilians and desecrates the dead.

Our administration—in partnership with Prime Minister Netanyahu—brokered a historic peace framework that ended open hostilities. Skeptics warned of collapse at the first skirmish. They were wrong.

Vice President Vance echoed our resolve: “This ceasefire holds because we do not tolerate lawlessness. Israel will defend itself; Hamas will obey the deal.”

Across the Senate and House, Republicans stand united behind Israel. We demand immediate handover of the remaining bodies and insist on full accountability for every atrocity committed by Hamas.

The international community must strip Hamas of legitimacy, freeze its assets, and cut all aid that props up its terror network. No concessions, no appeasement.

Iran bankrolls this terror. Its proxies threaten regional stability. We will counter their influence with ironclad sanctions and unwavering diplomatic pressure.

Our message is clear: We will return every hostage, honor every fallen soldier, and dismantle the terror infrastructure that gave rise to these horrors.

Justice will be served. America stands firmly with Israel—and with every family waiting for closure.
