According to a Kikar Shabbos report a number of cabinet ministers recently met with representatives of the families of IDF soldiers Sgt. Oron Shaul HY”D and Lt. Hadar Goldin HY”D.
About six months ago, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu appointed Shas leader Aryeh Deri and Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon to head a committee assigned with bringing home the remains of the two soldiers, whose bodies were taken by Hamas terrorists during Gaza fighting in the summer of 2014. Also, serving on the committee are Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his military secretary, Brigadier-General Eliezer Toledano.
There is reportedly some progress and this led to a meeting between Toledano, Deri and Kahlon. Following that meeting, they decided to update representatives of the families, a meeting held without media fanfare.

if the Zionists wanted their bodies back they could have done so long ago by not giving the bodies of terrorists back.
Not so easy to get our bodies back.
And Hamas is certainly not interested in getting their terrorist bodies.
