U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is celebrating the return of the final Israeli hostage remains from Gaza, calling it a "new day in the Middle East." The remains of Israeli police officer Ran Gvili were returned to Israel, completing the return of all hostages, both living and deceased. Witkoff and former President Trump are being praised by Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum for their efforts in securing the hostages' release.

Witkoff believes this closes a painful chapter and paves the way for peace and prosperity in the region, building on previous diplomatic efforts like the Abraham Accords.
