DOHA, GAZA: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday warned against violations of the ceasefire in Gaza that halted two years of devastating war in the Palestinian territory.
Addressing reporters on the sidelines of the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Guterres said he was “deeply concerned about the continued violations of the ceasefire in Gaza. They must stop and all parties must abide by the decisions of the first phase of the peace agreement.”
Israel handed over the bodies of 45 Palestinians on Monday, the Red Cross said, a day after militants returned the remains of three hostages.
Israeli officials identified the three as soldiers who were killed in the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023 that triggered the war in Gaza.
The armed wing of Hamas said it had found the body of an Israeli soldier who had been held hostage by Palestinian militants in Gaza.
