The Red Cross completed the transfer of remains of Israeli hostages from Gaza City on October 14th, 2025, with vehicles departing the area. This development concludes a series of transfers that occurred throughout the day, as reported by activist Hamza Al-Masri. The forces crossed Israeli territory with four abducted cabinets, according to Nitzan Shapira on Telegram. Earlier on October 14th, the Red Cross had received bodies of four Israeli hostages from Hamas, with footage aired by Al Jazeera showing Red Cross vehicles entering a secure location in Gaza City. Prior to that, Israel confirmed the return of six bodies from Hamas, a number higher than previously reported, including the remains of Guy Illouz, Capt. Daniel Peretz, Yossi Sharabi, and Joshi. The Prime Minister's Office reiterated its commitment to restoring all abducted individuals for proper burial. Amidst these transfers, the Rafah crossing remained closed, a decision Israel made to convey seriousness to Hamas regarding the return of abductees. An Israeli official stated that the government will begin promoting the trial of Nahlba members this week, following the release of all abductees. Avishay Greenzeig, an Israeli official, reported that Hamas did not demand the release of Nahlba members during negotiations, characterizing such claims as Israeli spins. He indicated that approximately 100 Nahlba members are suspected of involvement in incidents within Israeli territory on October 7th, with evidence against some being inadmissible. The IDF will determine the prosecution strategy, including the potential for the death penalty for some. In related news, families of Argentine hostages Cunio and Horn sent a letter of gratitude to President Donald Trump, which President Javier Milei delivered during his visit to Washington. Brazilian President Lula commented that his country has a problem with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, not Israel, in relation to calls for a ceasefire. US President Donald Trump had previously stated that Hamas eliminated "two very evil gangs" and killed members, adding, "It didn’t bother me much, to be honest with you, that’s okay."
