The parents of the last dead hostage in Gaza have spoken to the BBC about their desperate wait for his body to be returned.
Itzik and Talik Gvili insisted the Gaza peace deal could not progress until Hamas handed over the remains of their son Ran, a 24-year-old Israeli police officer also known as Rani.
"We really hope that all people in the world... want to end this situation and go to the second phase, so Hamas must bring Rani home," his mother Talik said, after Israel confirmed the body of Thai national Suthisak Rintalak had been returned on Wednesday.
He and Ran were among 251 people taken hostage in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, when another 1,200 people were killed.
Ran was killed while fighting Hamas gunmen in Kibbutz Alumim, and his body was subsequently taken to Gaza as a hostage, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
