The remains of three hostages – including those of Long Island native Omer Neutra -- have been handed over from Gaza and will be examined by forensic experts, as a fragile month-old ceasefire holds, according to Israel and comments Sunday from President Donald Trump.
Neutra enlisted in the Israeli military and was captured when Hamas attacked southern Israel . Neutra’s parents, Ronen and Orna, led a public campaign while he was thought to be alive for their son’s freedom.

Trump said he has spoken with the family of Neutra, who served as a tank platoon commander in the Israel Defense Forces.
"They were thrilled, in one sense, but in another sense, obviously, it’s not too great,” Trump said of Neutra's parents.
