ALBAWABA - U.S. officials have said that there are disagreements within President Donald Trump's administration about Hamas's decision to hand over the bodies of Israeli hostages, which is a key part of the ceasefire deal with Tel Aviv.
Information given to Erm News by reliable sources says that some members of the government, including Trump, think that Hamas should be given more time to return all the bodies. They say that some bodies are stuck in tunnels that were destroyed when Israel bombed Gaza, which makes recovery operations harder.
Other officials, on the other hand, think that Hamas's delay was planned and that the group is using the bodies as bargaining chips to get Israel to make concessions or keep its power in future talks.
The dispute intensified after details about the victims — including names and descriptions — were exchanged during talks. Reports say that Hamas confirmed that all the bodies had been found, which has made some people in Washington think that the group may now be messing with the process.
Trump said he wanted to solve the problem quickly to protect the authority of the ceasefire agreement, but he also said Hamas might need more time to plan their return.
Sources also said that Hamas has given different numbers about how many bodies it still has, which makes people think that it might be trying to delay the process or have other reasons. They said that the next few hours will be very important for keeping the deal on track.
Hamas had told negotiators before the truce how many bodies it had, but after it started, it said that some bodies were missing and that it needed more tools and help to find them.
