Adam Boehler, the United States Special Envoy for Hostages, issued a strong warning to Hamas regarding the return of the body of Shiri Bibas.
Hamas had previously claimed that the bodies of Shiri, her sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz would be handed over to Israel on Thursday. However, while the bodies of Oded, Ariel, and Kfir were indeed returned, the coffin labeled as holding Shiri Bibas’ body did not contain hers, nor was it any of the other Israeli hostages. Instead, Hamas returned three bodies of hostages and one unidentified body.
Boehler made it clear that this was a breach, stating, “It’s a clear violation, and if I have one piece of advice for Hamas now, it’s not only you need to release her body” but that they must also free all remaining hostages still held in Gaza.
Among the hostages still being detained by Hamas is Idan Alexander, an American-Israeli, along with the bodies of four other American citizens. Boehler emphasized, “Idan needs to come home.”
He further stated, “If I were them, I’d release everybody, or they’re going to face total annihilation right now.”
