Parents of 2 US citizens demand return of their sons’ bodies and all deceased hostages held by Hamas in Gaza
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Two Americans were still among the deceased hostages held by Hamas on Wednesday, as the Palestinian terror group failed to meet the terms of President Trump’s peace plan.
Nineteen-year-old U.S.-Israeli dual citizen Itay Chen was initially believed to have been kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, while serving along the Gaza border, but was later declared dead by the IDF. His body is still held by Hamas in Gaza.
Capt. Omer Neutra, 21, a fellow American-Israeli from New York, was killed in battle that same day, and his body remains in captivity.
TRUMP ISSUES DIRE WARNING TO HAMAS: IF THEY DON’T DISARM ‘WE WILL DISARM THEM’

«This two-year emotional roller coaster has reached one of its highest peaks,» said Ronen Neutra, father of Omer Neutra, in an interview with Fox News Digital.
On Monday, Neutra met with Trump for an hour during the president’s visit to Israel.
«We voiced our concern that no deceased hostage should remain in Gaza. We know we’re dealing with a terror organization that exploits every grey area in any deal. While the living hostages were returned as agreed, we’re already seeing violations,» Neutra said. «The president assured us he would do everything to bring our children home.»
Earlier Wednesday, Neutra and his wife went to sleep only at 3 a.m, after learning that the four bodies released by Hamas once again did not include their son — and that one of them wasn’t even a hostage.
The U.S. hostage families met incoming SPEHA Director Adam Boehler. The families thanked President Trump and his administration for all they have done on the hostage crisis including securing the release of additional hostages than detailed in the current hostage framework. Boehler shared his commitment to release the U.S. hostages in Gaza.

«I expect the United States to exert strong pressure on the mediators,» Neutra told Fox News Digital. «We’ve heard that Washington has spoken directly with Hamas in Egypt, and we demand full implementation of the agreement — or serious consequences: halting humanitarian aid, and stopping the movement of goods and people through the Rafah Crossing.
«Our expectation is for President Trump to ensure that the two American citizens still held by Hamas — our son Omer and Itay Chen — are brought home for burial,» he continued. «After two years of fighting for this, we deserve closure — and our son deserves proper burial in the land he loved and defended.»
TRUMP HAS FREED MORE THAN 70 US HOSTAGES IN LESS THAN A YEAR; BIDEN RELEASED AROUND 70 IN FOUR YEARS

Under the terms of the agreement, Hamas was obligated to return all 28 bodies alongside the 20 living captives freed on Monday. However, the terror group has so far delivered only seven bodies — four on Monday and three more on Tuesday night — in clear violation of the deal.
«There is a diplomatic effort to make sure the agreement is fulfilled,» said Ruby Chen, the father of Itay Chen, father of the other remaining American held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
«Hamas did not provide the majority of the hostages yesterday, and we — the families — are, of course, very disappointed,» he continued. «Especially as an American citizen, I’m disappointed that the United States was not able to bring my son back. We demand that the window of opportunity that exists today to release the remaining hostages not be lost.»

«The U.S. and the mediators must put pressure on Hamas to release the remaining hostages,» Chen added, «and leverage the agreed-upon components — such as the release of Palestinian prisoners and the reopening of the Rafah Crossing.»
The Israel Defense Forces announced on Wednesday that one of the four bodies Hamas returned to Israel late Tuesday did not belong to any of the identified hostages.

President Donald Trump delivered a sharp warning to Hamas on Tuesday, vowing that the U.S. would act if the terrorist group fails to lay down its arms.
«They said they were going to disarm, and if they don’t, we will disarm them,» Trump told reporters at the White House while meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei.
Prof. Hagai Levine, head of the Health Team for the Hostage and Missing Families Forum, described the emotional toll on families still awaiting news.

«It has a tremendous psychological impact — families cannot move forward until there is certainty, a proper burial, and full confidence regarding the fate of their loved ones,» Levine told Fox News Digital.
«That’s why bringing back all hostages — living and deceased — is critical for families, and for the nation as a whole, to begin healing,» he added.
Levine explained that the identification and verification process for deceased hostages is carried out at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.
«I’m in close contact with the staff at the institute,» he said. «We have complete trust in them. They use advanced technology and multiple methods for identification — including individual markings, unique tattoos, fingerprints, DNA comparison with pre-acquired family samples, and full-body CT scans.»
He cautioned that the process could take time, citing previous cases such as that of Shiri Bibas, whose body Hamas initially substituted with that of a Gazan woman before eventually returning her actual remains.

«Receiving the news is also a critical and emotional moment,» Levine continued. «It can bring a measure of relief and closure, but it’s also an extremely stressful time — and we’re there to support the families. Those still waiting fear their loved ones will be forgotten. The mission isn’t complete until everyone is brought back to Israel.»
Israel’s Kan 11 reported on Tuesday, citing Qatari media, that Egyptian teams had begun assisting in efforts to locate the remains of deceased hostages in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum sent a letter to U.S. Middle East Envoy Witkoff, expressing their gratitude.

«We are immensely grateful and overjoyed to see 20 of our loved ones back home, finally reuniting with the families who have fought tirelessly for their return for so long. However, what we feared is now happening before our eyes. Only four deceased hostages are coming home today,» the letter said.
«We must ensure that all remaining hostages come home. We cannot rest, and we know you will not rest, until every last hostage is returned,» it added.

Trump’s proposed presidential library revealed as towering Miami skyscraper in striking new video
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A newly released animated video shows renderings of President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, featuring a soaring waterfront skyscraper and museum space.
Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, offering a first look at the proposed project, while his son, Eric Trump, posted it on X with additional details, describing the project as a «lasting testament» to his father and his legacy.
«Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,» Eric Trump wrote, adding that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to «an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.»
«These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!» he added.
Eric Trump has been leading the project’s development and serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.

The video, set to dramatic orchestral music, opens with sweeping aerial shots of the proposed waterfront site, showing landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green spaces before revealing the towering glass structure.
It shows a tall glass tower topped with a spire, with Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the facade and a large American flag draped down the center. A presidential plane resembling Air Force One is showcased on the ground floor, alongside gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.
Additional renderings show military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a towering gold statue of Trump, a stage and large-scale digital displays.

The design also includes replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a planned ballroom.
The presidential library is set to be designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted in late September to transfer the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

The proposed site, located near Trump National Doral, was briefly tied up in a legal battle after a federal judge paused the land transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.
The Miami site is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and is adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled communism in the 1960s and 1970s and sought asylum in the United States. The 100-year-old structure is considered a symbol of the city’s vibrant immigrant heritage.
The site is surrounded by luxury high-rise apartment buildings and has waterfront views, facing directly toward the Kaseya Center, home to the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, where many of the world’s largest cruise liners dock.

The parcel was appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, but it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.
President Donald Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The Trump Presidential Library Foundation’s other trustees are Tiffany Trump’s husband Michael Boulos and Trump attorney James Kiley.

Trump carried Miami-Dade County by 13 points, the first Republican to carry it since 1988.
The unveiling comes as former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago is scheduled to open in June.

Russia allegedly sharing satellite intelligence on US bases with Iran, world leader claims
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian reconnaissance satellites have recently imaged key U.S. and allied military facilities across the Middle East, raising concerns about potential targeting, after returning from a high-stakes trip to Gulf countries now under Iranian attack.
Zelenskyy’s remarks come as Ukraine deepens its role in the region, sharing intelligence and defense expertise with Middle Eastern partners facing Iranian missile and drone strikes.
In a March 28 post on X, Zelenskyy said he had been briefed that Russian satellites photographed multiple strategic sites «in the interests of Iran,» including bases and critical energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
«Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes,» he wrote.

According to Zelenskyy, the surveillance occurred over several days in late March. On March 24, Russian satellites reportedly captured imagery of the U.S.-U.K. military facility on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The following days included Kuwait International Airport and parts of the Greater Burgan oil field, as well as Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
Additional sites imaged on March 26 included Saudi Arabia’s Shaybah oil and gas field, Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, one of the largest U.S. military installations in the region.
Some of the locations identified by Zelenskyy, including places in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, have been targeted in recent Iranian attacks, though it remains unclear whether the satellite imagery he described was directly used in those operations.
The warning follows Zelenskyy’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan, where he discussed security cooperation and shared intelligence with regional leaders.

In an interview published Monday by Axios, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had provided Middle Eastern partners with information about Russian support for Iran, including potential targeting assistance.
«I think Russia is supporting Iran directly, 100%,» Zelenskyy told Axios. «The same format of sharing satellite images like they did in the case of Ukraine.»

Ksenia Svetlova, an associate fellow at Chatham House, said recent developments point to increased cooperation in that space. «There is more cooperation in everything that has to do with intelligence,» she said, citing reports that Russia has provided Iran with «a target list, basically, through their satellites, American targets, but also air targets in the Gulf.»
Svetlova added that such support enables Russia to assist Iran without deploying troops or equipment.
«They are doing for the Iranians whatever they can without spending money, spending troops, or spending equipment,» she said.

The White House has not confirmed the intelligence-sharing but said it is not impacting U.S. operations.
«Nothing provided to Iran by any other country is affecting our operational success. The United States military has struck more than 11,000 targets and destroyed more than 150 Iranian naval vessels, leading to their missile attacks and drone attacks decreasing by 90%. The terrorist Iranian regime continues to be crushed by the full might of the most lethal fighting force in the world,» White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also downplayed concerns about Russia’s role, telling reporters Friday: «There is nothing Russia is doing for Iran that is in any way impeding or affecting our operation or the effectiveness of it.»

Lt. Gen. Richard Newton (Ret.), a former U.S. Air Force assistant vice chief of staff, said the reports should not come as a surprise.
«The latest reports that Russia provided essential imaging intelligence to the Iranian regime to target a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia should surprise no one. Putin is our adversary who can’t be trusted.»
«We should avoid a direct conflict with Moscow,» he added, «but there must be consequences for Russia aiding and abetting the Iranian regime that harms American military personnel and our assets.»

Russia has not publicly responded to Zelenskyy’s claims. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Russian government and the Iranian mission to the United Nations for comment and did not receive responses in time for publication.
Carrie Filipetti, executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition and a former senior State Department official, told Fox News Digital the reports reflect a broader and growing threat.
«There is no clearer signal that Russia is a dangerous adversary than the continued reporting that Russia is providing intelligence targeting Americans to a regime currently engaged in combat against the United States,» Filipetti said.
«American service members’ lives are at continued risk because of Putin’s war machine,» she added, warning that Washington must act to «hold the Russian regime accountable and prevent future American deaths.»

Zelenskyy has also questioned ongoing discussions about easing sanctions on Russia.
«There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure,» he wrote.
