Israel is using the failure to return the bodies of hostages as a pretext to violate the ceasefire themselves, but as Nour Odeh points out, the ceasefire agreement did not contain a timeline for the handing over of the bodies & Israel already knew it might take weeks or months.

The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“Bowen, of course, carefully ignores the part Israel played in arming these criminal clans and letting them steal food aid. The clans then sold that aid at inflated prices to a small group who could still afford to pay, while everyone else starved.”

Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the British public about Gaza
The BBC international editor is required to report what Hamas actually thinks. Otherwise he is not a journalist, he's just another western propagandist
