Israeli media on October 17th primarily focused on the return of another deceased hostage from Gaza. Early reports highlighted President Trump's threats against Hamas, linking the delay in returning deceased hostages to potential renewed military action and the progression of the agreement's next phase. Coverage throughout the morning extensively featured the funeral of Inbar Hayman, the last deceased hostage returned from Gaza, with thousands attending. In the evening, news shifted to Hamas's announcement of locating and returning an additional deceased hostage, with Israel preparing for the transfer. Subsequent reports tracked the Red Cross's journey to receive the remains in southern Gaza, their transfer to IDF forces, and the arrival of the coffin in Israel for forensic identification. Discussions also included the harrowing experiences of recently returned hostages and the potential expansion of the Abraham Accords.
