Israel retains hundreds of Palestinian remains
Israel continues to detain hundreds of the bodies of Palestinian martyrs from Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the 1948 territories, despite the disappearance of the primary excuse that once justified such detentions—using the bodies as bargaining chips in prisoner swap deals. Reports indicate that Israel is holding around 1,700 bodies, while Palestinian sources state the actual number is 799, not including the bodies of three martyrs captured following a raid on Jenin. Since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023, Israel has detained 19 bodies from the 1948 territories, released six of them, and still holds 13, including martyrs like Walid Daqa and Karam Jabarin. Palestinian legal authorities and human rights organizations such as Justice accuse Israel of procrastination and lack of a clear legal foundation for these detentions, despite the Supreme Court rejecting repeated appeals. Israel relies on Cabinet decisions that have allowed its detention policy, which has become difficult to justify after the return of prisoners and bodies from Gaza. Palestinian families continue to suffer from not knowing the fate of their loved ones, facing difficulties in burying them according to religious customs. Human rights organizations describe this conduct as a violation of the rights of the deceased and the dignity of their families.
