Tel Aviv (Israel)/The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamín Netanyahu, said Friday that Hamas will pay for having introduced the body of a woman from Gaza, and not that of the Shiri Bibas hostage, in one of the four coffins that yesterday delivered to the Red Cross in the Strip, according to a statement released by your office.
“We will act with determination to bring Shiri home along with all our hostages, both alive and dead, and ensure that Hamas totally pays for this cruel and atrocious violation of the agreement,” said the president in a video cluster issued by the prime minister’s office . Netanyahu says in the video that the Palestinian terrorists put the body of “a woman from Gaza” in the coffin that corresponded to Shiri Silberman, mother of the family of Peruvian descent and Argentina Bibas.
The Israeli prime minister reacted before the report of the Forensic Institute that determined that, although two of the bodies received did correspond to the children of Silberman, Ariel and Kfir Bibas (kidnapped with 4 years and 9 months, respectively), that of His mother had not been able to be identified.
“After the completion of the identification process by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in collaboration with the Israel Police, the representatives of the FDI informed the Bibas family that their loved ones, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, have been identified,” The Army pointed out in a statement.
“It was determined that the additional body received is not that of Shiri Bibas and no other hostage was found.”
“During the identification process, it was determined that the additional body received is not that of Shiri Bibas and no other hostage was found. It is an anonymous and unidentified body,” added the military text. The army statement, in the absence of a public text of the Forensic Institute Abu Kabir, says that Ariel and Kfir were “brutally killed in November 2023 by the terrorists”, an idea that Netanyahu replied in his speech this morning, although he did not give more details about it.
On November 29, 2023, just over a month after his kidnapping, Hamas announced that Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas had died in an Israeli bombing before the truce that at that time was developed in the enclave. Since then, Israel said these statements were not verified.
The crisis with the body of Shiri Bibas makes the situation of Alto El Fuego even more delicate in the Gaza Strip. On October 7, 2023, some 1,200 people were killed in Israeli territory and another 251 were kidnapped between Shiri, Ariel and Kfir, as well as their father, Yardén, who was released as part of the exchanges of hostages for Palestinian prisoners of the high fire on February 1.
“Hamas kidnapped and brutally murdered Kfir Bibas, a ten -month -old baby, and her brother, Ariel Bibas, a four -year -old boy. Hamas refuses to return to her mother, Shiri Bibas. Instead, Hamas tried to deceive us by sending An unidentified body and falsely affirming that it was Shiri Bibas, “said Israel’s Foreign Ministry in his message.
For the Ministry, this is “much more than a flagrant violation of the agreement. It is disgusting. It is the enemy we face and we must eradicate it.” “Returns Shiri Bibas now!” He concludes his message.
The terrorist group said that the remains of Shiri Bibas, whose body should have been delivered to Israel on Thursday, were able to mix with those of another victim of the Israeli air attack in Gaza for which he died, thus justifying that the Israeli forensic institute could not have not been able to Identify your body. “We point out the possibility of an error or overlap in the bodies, which may be due to the fact that the occupation (Israeli) attacked and bombarded the place where the family was with other Palestinians,” he collected a statement from Hamas.
The militia claimed to have received the claims of Israel by the mediators, which will examine “total seriousness” to later announce the results of its review of what happened.
“We will inform the mediators of the exam results and the investigation on our part, and at the same time we ask for the return of the body that the occupation states that it belongs to a Palestinian woman who died during the Zionist bombardment,” the group added.
