JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israel expects Palestinian militant group Hamas to return the remaining hostages to Israel, a government spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
Under a U.S.-brokered plan, Hamas released all 20 hostages still alive to Israel on Monday but so far has returned just seven of an expected 28 dead captives.
“Hamas … is required to uphold its commitments to the mediators and return all of our hostages as part of the implementation of this agreement,” the spokeswoman said in a news conference.
“We will not compromise on this, and we will spare no effort until our fallen hostages return, every last one of them.”
