The fate of about 200 fighters from Hamas, trapped inside a network of tunnels in Rafah, represents the most complicated obstacle to solidifying the fragile ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
While the administration of President Donald Trump and regional players like Turkey intervene in mediation to "defuse this bomb," all proposals collide with a rigid stance from the Chief of Staff of the occupying army, Eyal Zamir, who has linked their survival to one condition: the retrieval of the body of officer Hadar Goldin.
Hebrew media outlets, citing two senior American officials, revealed that the Trump administration proposed a solution to the crisis, considering that the presence of the militants in the tunnels "undermines the ceasefire."
No member of Hamas trapped in Rafah will be allowed to exit alive unless Goldin's body is recovered.
