Israel identifies body of returned hostage

Israel has identified the remains of the hostage it received from Hamas yesterday as Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak, the Israeli prime minister's office said.

Rinthalak's body was transferred from Gaza by the Red Cross, and was handed over to the Israeli military to be sent for forensic identification, the PM's office said.

The body of Israeli police officer Ran Gvili, the last of the living and deceased hostages to be returned, is still in Gaza.

The handover of the last hostages' bodies in Gaza would complete a key condition of the initial part of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the two-year Gaza war.
