A senior Israel official says that any potential cease-fire with Hamas will include a return of the bodies of Hadar Goldin and Oren Shaul. "There will be no real arrangement with Hamas without the return of our sons and our citizens home and the promise of quiet for a long time," he said.
"The current calm is the result of aggressive IDF activity that will continue as necessary. In light of this, the Kerem Shalom crossing was renewed and the fishing area was reopened, and as long as this commitment is maintained, it will be possible to deal with humanitarian issues, including the return of our sons and our citizens. "
