Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has threatened to cut off aid supplies to Gaza if Hamas fails to return the remains of soldiers still held in the territory, Al Jazeera reports.

“I call on the prime minister to set a clear ultimatum for Hamas: if you do not immediately return all the bodies of our fallen soldiers and continue with these delays we will immediately halt all aid supplies entering the Gaza Strip,” Ben-Gvir said on his Telegram channel.
