Khaberni - The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported, citing sources, that Washington is preventing Israel from taking steps in response to Hamas not returning the bodies of captives.
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) had requested the entry of heavy equipment through the crossings to participate in the search operations, a request that Israel declined.
Earlier on Friday, the Broadcasting Authority reported that the Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir informed US Vice President JD Vance that it was not possible to proceed to the second phase of the Trump plan before Hamas returns the rest of the bodies of the abductees.
