What effect will the return of deceased captives' bodies have on Israeli public sentiment?
According to Alan Liel, the return of deceased captives' bodies could have a devastating effect on Israeli public opinion. He notes that seeing Hamas carrying bodies of Israelis and transferring them to the Red Cross would shock the Israeli public and result in a national day of mourning. However, Liel emphasizes that receiving the bodies would still be preferable to getting nothing from Hamas. The Israeli media is already preparing public opinion for this possibility, with reports suggesting bodies might be returned imminently. Ultimately, Liel stresses that Israel's priority remains getting all live hostages and bodies back as soon as possible.
