US opposes conditioning reconstruction of Gaza on return of IDF troops’ bodies
[IsraelTimes] As Israel seeks to link post-war rebuilding in the Strip with prisoner swap, Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude.

The Biden administration opposes Israel’s desire to condition post-war reconstruction projects in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
on the return of the bodies of the fallen IDF soldiers held by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, two Western diplomats told The Times of Israel Monday.

In the past, Jerusalem had agreed to hold a separate series of indirect talks with Hamas — one for a prisoner exchange, and another for Gaza reconstruction and securing a long-term truce.

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is intent on combining the two issues, with an Israeli official telling The Times of Israel that the new government won’t enable long-term rehabilitation projects as long as Hamas refuses to return the bodies of IDF soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul.

The bodies of the two Israeli servicemen have been held since the previous Gaza war in 2014. Two Israeli civilians, Abera Menginstu and Hisham al-Sayed, are also being held in the Hamas-run enclave after entering Gaza on their own accord. Their families say they suffer from mental illness.

"All plans to rehabilitate Gaza must include bringing back our boys," Israel’s Ambassador to the US and UN Gilad Erdan said Sunday at an event with American Jewish leaders.

An Israeli security delegation passed along this message last week during the first round of indirect talks held in Cairo since Bennett’s government was sworn in on June 13, according to a Western diplomat familiar with the matter.

But for Egyptian mediators well-versed in Hamas’s position, "this was a non-starter," a diplomat familiar with the negotiations said.

Hamas believes it can receive far more than humanitarian gestures in exchange for the bodies and civilians it currently holds, the diplomat said, following the 2011 prisoner swap for captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. That exchange saw former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree to release over 1,000 Paleostinian security prisoners.

The hardened position of the new Israeli government is also opposed by the Biden administration, which is concerned that a breakdown of talks will lead to renewed violence — something the US wants to avoid in order to focus on other foreign policy issues, a Western diplomat said.
