Israeli security minister accuses Hamas of ‘playing games’ and calls for total halt on humanitarian aid into Gaza Strip
Gaza ceasefire – live updates
One of the four bodies handed over by Hamas on Tuesday night is not a missing hostage from Gaza, the Israeli military has said, as the country’s far-right security minister called for a total halt on humanitarian aid into the strip.
The bodies were released late on Tuesday evening after the Israeli government threatened to keep the road between Gaza and Egypt closed and halve the expected flow of aid into the strip.
The moves came amid the despair and anger of grieving families that only four of the missing 28 deceased hostages had been released on Monday when the 20 Israelis still alive in Gaza came home.
