Vance in Israel Explains Reality of Getting Hostage Bodies Returned

Today in Israel, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance refused to give support to the use of the bodies of the deceased hostages as a vehicle for Netanyahu to pull out of the peace deal. At a press conference, a reporter asked if there would be a deadline for Hamas to bring back all the hostages. He stated: “I’m not going to do what the President of the United States has thus far refused to do, which is put an explicit deadline on it. Because a lot of this stuff is difficult.” He referred to a photo of deceased hostages he had seen and acknowledged there are “difficulties” in getting all of the bodies returned. “It is a focus of everybody here to get those bodies back home to their family so they can have a proper burial. This is difficult. This is not going to happen overnight.”
