Bayan News – The Israeli army reported on Tuesday (August 20) the discovery of six more hostage bodies from the Khan Younis area in southern Gaza.
In a statement, the army mentioned that the families of Ya’gav Buchshtab, Alexander Danzig, Abraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Papul, and Him Perry were informed about this matter.
The Office of the Prime Minister of Israel also confirmed this in a statement.
On the other hand, the Association of Families of Hostages, an organization that represents most of the hostage families, welcomed the news but again urged the Israeli government to reach an agreement with Hamas regarding the release of the hostages.
This entity added: “The immediate return of the remaining 109 hostages is only possible through an agreement. The Israeli government, with the help of mediators, must make every effort to finalize the agreement that is currently on the table.”
The bodies of these hostages are found at a time when Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has entered Israel for the ninth time.
During this visit, Blinken stated that Tel Aviv has accepted the new U.S. proposal for a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
However, despite this news, the Hamas group has rejected the new U.S. proposal.
