Israel Opens Rafah Crossing Amid Hostage Remains Dispute

Israel Opens Rafah Crossing Amid Hostage Remains Dispute

Israel and Hamas have a deal to return hostages and bodies.

Israel says some remains from Gaza don't match their missing hostages.

Two hostages, one Israeli and one Thai, are still in Gaza.

Israel has returned many Palestinian bodies as part of the agreement.

Both sides accuse each other of breaking the deal.

The war started when Hamas attacked Israel, killing many and taking hostages.

The deal aims to end the war and create a more stable government in Gaza.

Israel is now allowing Palestinians to leave Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, but there are still issues with the hostage remains.
