'All Israeli people are with us', say parents of last dead hostage in Gaza

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The parents of Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old Israeli police officer whose body is held in Gaza, are appealing for his remains to be returned. Ran was killed fighting Hamas gunmen during the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, despite being on medical leave. His parents, Itzik and Talik Gvili, are urging that the return of Ran's body be a condition of any further peace deal with Hamas. They have spent months campaigning for the return of all hostages, both living and dead. While a previous ceasefire deal secured the release of living hostages, the return of deceased hostages has been slow and emotionally taxing for families. The parents are in London to raise awareness and seek closure, hoping for the return of their son's body.
