U.S. Opposes Conditioning Gaza Reconstruction on Return of IDF Troops' Bodies
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - The Biden administration opposes Israel's desire to condition post-war reconstruction projects in Gaza on the return of the bodies of two fallen IDF soldiers held by Hamas, two Western diplomats told the Times of Israel Monday. However, an Israeli official said Israel's new government won't enable long-term rehabilitation projects as long as Hamas refuses to return the bodies of IDF soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul, held since the Gaza war in 2014. "All plans to rehabilitate Gaza must include bringing back our boys," Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan told American Jewish leaders on Sunday.
