U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff announced the return of the remains of Israeli police officer Ran Gvili, marking the recovery of all 20 living and 28 deceased hostages from Gaza. Witkoff described the event as historic and credited the efforts of President Donald Trump and his administration for securing the hostages' return.

Scripture: Proverbs 24:11-12 (NASB 1977)
"Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?"
Commentary:
The return of Ran Gvili’s remains, after long holding in Gaza, shows the moral weight Scripture places on recovering the endangered and honoring the dead. This is not abstract. Families still count days and wait for phone calls. In Israel’s south—near Kibbutz Alumim—this happened on land God gave to Israel, giving the conflict there a unique prophetic weight. The public crediting of leaders also reflects a biblical pattern: nations and rulers are measured by how they treat vulnerable lives amid shifting alliances and unrest.
Prophetic Trend:
Recoveries and negotiations around Gaza continue to expose how rulers and alliances are tested on Israel’s covenant land amid persistent instability.
