Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday accused Palestinian Islamic Jihad -- one of the main Palestinian armed factions operating in Gaza -- of violating the ceasefire by delaying the return of a deceased hostage's body.

"Israel views with utmost seriousness the delay in their immediate transfer to its hands," Netanyahu said of the remains reportedly discovered in Gaza on Monday.

"Israel demands the immediate return of the three deceased hostages still held in the Gaza Strip," the prime minister said in a statement published to social media by his office.
