US focused at ‘highest levels’ on getting hostage bodies to Israel, envoy says
"If this ceasefire falls apart, the fighting starts, that's going to make it that much harder to find these loved ones and get them out," Mike Waltz said.

The United States will do “everything” to get back the bodies of the two American citizens remaining in Gaza, Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday.
Waltz told Brian Kilmeade that there is an “entire task force” of “senior American officials, senior American officers” on the job, and U.S. Central Command has 200 troops “there to help with this, and with the aid facilitation.”
“The Israelis are absolutely focused on it, so they need heavy equipment. They need specialized gear,” Waltz said. “We have to also understand that if this ceasefire falls apart, the fighting starts, that’s going to make it that much harder to find these loved ones and get them out.”
“We are, at the highest levels, focused on it,” he said.
