Egypt Aids Search for Bodies of Dead Captives in Gaza

Egypt dispatched a nonmilitary team into Gaza to help locate the bodies of hostages, a move meant to reinforce a U.S.-brokered cease-fire that has wobbled over unreturned remains. Egyptians, the first international group beyond aid workers to enter, brought logistical support and earth-moving equipment. Hamas has returned 15 bodies; 13 are still missing. President Trump pressed Hamas to act within 48 hours, citing two Israeli American soldiers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed Israel alone sets security policy amid fears of “internationalization.” The truce requires all captives’ return; Israel says Hamas is stalling as tunnels largely endure.
