Word of the cut in aid was transmitted to U.S. officials and international aid groups, according to three AP sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter. The Israeli government did not immediately comment.

A day earlier, Israelis celebrated the return of the last 20 living hostages in Gaza and Palestinians rejoiced at Israel’s release of some 2,000 prisoners and detainees as part of the ceasefire’s first phase.

But now attention in Israel has turned to when Hamas will return all the bodies of hostages who died in captivity.

But only returning four bodies is a huge fuck you to the process tbh.

Hamas has known since this latest round of war began that Israel would be relentless in demanding the return of every single hostage dead or alive. I don’t believe them at all that they can’t locate them.

Only reason for this shitty maneuver is that Hamas wants to resume the battle imo

Because all the hostages, or their remains weren't turned over by Hamas.
As someone mentioned above, there are no good faith actors involved & that parade MAGA threw over the "historic" agreement was idiotically premature.
