Occupied Jerusalem: The United Nations yesterday welcomed the recovery of remains of the last Israeli hostage in Gaza and said it was time to fully implement a ceasefire deal after more than two years of devastation.
"We welcome reports on that development and extend our condolences to his family. The full implementation of the ceasefire arrangements in Gaza is absolutely critical," said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Remains of the last hostage held in Gaza were identified and repatriated to Israel yesterday.
The Israeli authorities have confirmed that all hostages have now been returned from the Gaza Strip.
Officials had said on Sunday that Israeli forces were searching for his remains in a cemetery in the northern Gaza Strip. The gradual return of the hostages over several stages has been a complicated and arduous process for both sides.
