Hamas reaffirms ceasefire, pledges return of hostage remains

Hamas has moved to shore up its fragile ceasefire agreement with Israel by reaffirming its commitment to the terms of the deal, which includes a pledge to hand over the remains of all deceased Israeli hostages. The militant group’s statement, released in the early hours of Friday, follows a dire warning from U.S. President Donald Trump that he would green-light Israel to resume the war if Hamas fails to uphold its end of the agreement.
