By World Israel News Staff The father of the last remaining Israeli hostage held by Hamas is urging the Netanyahu government not to advance to stage two of Trump’s ceasefire plan until his son is returned. Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, a police officer in an elite unit, was killed in battle on October 7th while fighting invading terrorists. His body was kidnapped to Gaza and has been held by Hamas for more than two years. Gvili and Thai farm worker Sontisak Rintalak are the final deceased hostages kidnapped during the Hamas-led massacres whose remains have yet to be returned to their families. In recent weeks, Gvili’s family members have spoken frequently to Israeli media, expressing their fears that his body may never be recovered. They said they believe that Hamas is intentionally holding his remains to manipulate Israel and stall progress under the ceasefire deal. Under the terms of the Trump-brokered ceasefire agreement signed in October, Hamas is obligated to return all the bodies of the hostages before phase two of the agreement — which would allow massive rebuilding and rehabilitation of the Strip — can move forward.

They’re messing with us, and it has to stop, now.” He added that there should be “no day after” the war in Gaza unless Hamas fully abides by the terms of the truce. “The goal is to bring our Rani back home,” he stressed. “Enough with the pain and open wounds — we want to get off this rollercoaster.” “It’s time to bring Sudthisak and Rani back and achieve closure,” he added.
