Fury is spreading across Israel as Hamas clings on to 20 dead hostages, despite the US president threatening to 'violently' disarm them. The terror group handed over four bodies on Tuesday night - but relatives of hostages still in its clutches took to the streets in Tel Aviv to call for the return of their loved ones. It came just hours after the first hostages handed back on Monday as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal were named as Guy Iluz, 26, Bipin Joshi, 33, Yossi Sharabi, 54, and Daniel Peretz, 22.On Tuesday night Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the remains of four more hostages had been returned.'All the families of the hostages have been updated on the matter, and in this difficult hour, our hearts are with them,' Netanyahu said. 'The effort to bring back our hostages continues relentlessly and will not stop until the last hostage is returned.'The International Committee of the Red Cross says it facilitated the transfer of the four deceased hostages to Israel and the bodies of 45 Palestinians to Gaza today.'These operations were carried out in line with the ceasefire agreement, and it is crucial that the parties and mediators ensure the agreement is faithfully upheld,' it said.Julian Lerisson, the head of the Red Cross in the region, says the organisation is 'prepared to fulfil our role for as long as it takes'.(more)https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15192495/Hamas-hands-bodies-Israeli-hostages-Donald-Trump-threatened-violently-disarm-terror-group-did-not-return-remains-grieving-families.html(from the article)

She says Hamas called the parents of these hostages and let them speak to their loved ones , because they wanted to let them know they maintain control over them.
'I don't expect Hamas to come out in the next few days or months waving a white flag. They will do whatever they can to survive, and they're already playing these tricks,' the Netanyahu insider said.
She added, 'What they do next could blow up the whole deal.'
