Hamas has handed over the body of Israeli Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, who was captured in Rafah back in 2014 during an Israeli military offensive. His body has been kept in Hamas captivity for almost 11 years and has now been returned to the Israeli military as part of the current ceasefire agreement. This is a critical moment for the agreement. Hamas has issued a statement saying the mediators now must act in order to maintain the ceasefire by preventing the Israeli military from violating it under what they call false pretexts.
