Official says Gaza group will demand ‘a price’ for information on whereabouts of Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul’s remains
A high-ranking Hamas official stated that Israel and the Islamist group were poised to kick-start negotiations over the returning of the remains of two Israel Defense Forces soldiers killed during the war this summer in Gaza, amid indications a deal on the issue may be in the works.
Mohammed Nazzal, a senior figure in Hamas’s political wing, said talks on the retrieval of the bodies of Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul would probably begin later this month in Cairo, Israel Radio reported. In an interview with a Hamas-affiliated website, he stressed that his group would demand that Israel “pay a price” for every bit of information regarding the whereabouts of the soldiers’ remains.
Nazzal did not indicate what the group would demand in exchange for such information. Goldin and Shaul were killed in separate incidents during fighting in Gaza during the summer’s 50-day military campaign, and were both declared dead based on evidence the army acquired, but their bodies were never recovered by Israel…..
