The return of Hadar Goldin's remains would be a significant development in the U.S.-brokered truce and close a painful, 11-year saga for his parents.

After 11 years, Hamas appears to have returned Lieutenant Hadar Goldin’s remains. His story reveals how Israel’s policy on hostage deals changed after the Schalit exchange.

Hamas says it has returned remains of an Israeli soldier held in Gaza since 2014. It's a sign of progress towards the next stage of the ceasefire. Meanwhile, President Trump's envoy and son-in-law, Jared Kushner,

Hamas has returned the body of 19-year-old New York City native Itay Chen, the last remaining American hostage in Gaza, following the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack in Israel.

Hamas said it would consider giving up missiles and rockets as part of a ceasefire with Israel, a sign the group is prepared to make further concessions toward the US-brokered roadmap for peace.

Among the 8 deceased Israeli hostages whose remains are yet to be returned from Gaza is soldier and U.S. citizen Itay Chen.

The Red Cross received a coffin with Israeli hostage remains from Hamas in Gaza. The body requires identification upon return to Israel.

As many as 200 Hamas fighters holed up in an Israeli-held area of the Gaza Strip and defying calls to surrender are casting doubts on the implementation of President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

The few buildings still standing in this expanse of northern Gaza protrude from the earth like broken bones. Around them, what was once a dense, urban neighborhood has been blown up, knocked down or otherwise crushed into debris and dust.
