Why is Israel withdrawing so Hamas can search for Israeli bodies?
Dr. Aaron Lerner 26 October 2025

Dear Reader,

The following isn’t some radically sarcastic fabrication designed to show the Israeli leadership in a bad light.

Here’s an English translation from a report by Gillie Cohen from Kan which she just posted:

“Israel allows Hamas to enter for field patrols and physical work to search for kidnapped civilians - in areas controlled by Israel... Following pressure from the mediators and President Trump's envoys... The IDF is withdrawing from those areas where Hamas and the Red Cross are operating, so that there is no encounter between that activity and IDF forces on the ground.”

We have top flight teams who are experts in recovering bodies.

We know where to look in the areas under our control.

==> WHAT ELSE WILL HAMAS RECOVER?!?

==> And what are the odds that we ever recover control of any area we leave?
