Hamas, Israel and hostages

After Hamas fighters tightened their grip in Gaza Tuesday, carrying out public executions and defying any suggestions the militant group is willing to cede control of the embattled territory, U.S. President Donald Trump said the Palestinian militant group must disarm or will be forced to.
The Israeli government is considering limits on aid to Gaza to penalize Hamas for not turning over more bodies of former hostages. But devastation in the enclave complicates the retrieval of all remains.
Israel identified two of the four deceased hostages whose bodies it received from Hamas via the Red Cross after the final 20 living hostages were returned.
Hamas has deployed hundreds of police and clashed with armed groups in Gaza in what the militant group says is an attempt to restore law and order in areas where Israeli troops have withdrawn for the U.
While major questions remain about the future of the region, the exchange of hostages and prisoners marked a key step toward ending the deadliest war ever between Israel and Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told "CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil that conditions outlined in the 20-point plan "are very clear."
