Netanyahu says remains returned by Hamas are of a hostage previously retrieved in Gaza

TEL AVIV: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that body parts returned by Hamas overnight were the partial remains of a hostage previously recovered in Gaza by Israeli troops almost two years ago, an announcement that threatened to rattle the tenuous, US-brokered ceasefire agreement. Netanyahu called the return a “clear violation” of the ceasefire agreement, which requires Hamas to return all Israeli hostage remains as soon as possible. He said he will convene top security officials for an emergency discussion on Tuesday afternoon to weigh Israel’s response.
