[00:00.18] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel would make Hamas pay for failing to release the body of hostage Shiri Bibas as agreed in the latest potential threat to the month-old cease-fire.

[00:12.16] Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. Hamas said Bibas' remains appeared to have been mixed with others after an Israeli airstrike hit the place she was being held, later adding that it was investigating the possible error.

[00:24.64] Netanyahu gave no details on a possible Israeli response, but the incident highlights the fragility of the month-old cease-fire deal reached with U.S. backing and help from Qatar and Egypt.

[00:36.86] The failure to return Bebas' body during this staged public handover caused outrage in Israel.

[00:43.24] "It's like they make a joke of us and the mother just sent the body and it's so painful, so the family has to go and bury them and to make sort of a closure and now the mother is missing and it's so frustrating."

[01:02.91] Hamas is due to release six living hostages on Saturday, with the start of the negotiations for the cease-fire's second phase expected in the coming days. That was Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones.

[01:18.83] U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has criticized Germany's free speech laws during an appearance at a conservative gathering outside Washington.

[01:21.75] He linked Germany's limits against hate speech to American troops stationed there.

[01:26.00] German laws set restrictions on free speech, including the long-standing ban on Holocaust denial and any glorification of the country's Nazi past.

[01:34.51] The limits are an effort to curb extremism and incitement and have led authorities to policing the internet for hate speech and arresting people for allegedly posting and reposting such comments.

[01:44.86] Vance's remarks Thursday followed his speech earlier this month at the Munich Security Conference.
