JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israel expects Palestinian militant group Hamas to return the remaining hostages to Israel, a government spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
Under a U.S.-brokered plan, Hamas released all 20 hostages still alive to Israel on Monday but so far has returned just seven of an expected 28 dead captives.
"Hamas ... is required to uphold its commitments to the mediators and return all of our hostages as part of the implementation of this agreement," the spokeswoman said in a news conference.
"We will not compromise on this, and we will spare no effort until our fallen hostages return, every last one of them."
