the Israeli Army has recovered the bodies of six hostages from the Gaza Strip this includes the body of a young Israeli American man H Goldberg Poland he had been perhaps the most recognized and high-profile hostage on the international stage that's because his parents have been crisscrossing the world trying to draw attention to the plight of the hostages they had met with President Biden uh with the Pope and just a few days ago gave an address to the Democratic Convention in Chicago the Army says the hostages were killed by Hamas militants shortly before soldiers arrived uh in the tunnel where they were being held in southern Gaza this news has been greeted with a mixture of sadness and anger uh in Israel we can expect to see lots of pressure on the government to reach a ceasefire that could bring home the remaining hostages we also expect to see some large public demonstrations the Israeli government estimates that there are about 100 hostages still being held in Gaza it already believes that about onethird of them are no longer living and there is a sense that time is running out to bring home those who are alive to bring them home safely
