The bodies of Shiri, Kfir and Ariel Bibas and Oded Lifshitz were returned to Israel more than 500 days after the four of them were taken hostage. Hamas, though, was not finished disrespecting and using the hostages. 

Coffins containing the remains of the four murdered Israeli hostages were put on display in a ceremony that has been nearly universally condemned. The four coffins were laid out on stage in front of a grotesque caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a banner that read in English, “The war criminal Netanyahu & his Nazi army killed them with missiles from Zionist warplanes.”

On the coffin allegedly containing Shiri Bibas there was a photo of the young mother next to the words “arrest date” and the date of the Oct. 7 attacks. At the time of this writing, Israel has only confirmed the identity of Lifshitz.

United Nations watchdog organization UN Watch called for Türk’s resignation in its December 2024 report showing that the human rights commissioner condemned the U.S. more than China, North Korea, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Qatar combined. The organization also accused Türk of focusing on the Jewish state.

“Türk was obsessed with condemning Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, making 58 condemnations during the past two years, with 49 on the Hamas-Israel war. To put this in perspective, over the same two years, the Maduro regime in Venezuela was criticized only 4 times,” the report reads.

After the Oct. 7 attacks, Shiri Bibas and her sons, Kfir and Ariel, became symbols of Hamas’ brutality. The image of a terrified mother holding her 4-year-old and 9-month-old quickly spread around the world. Yarden Bibas, Shiri’s husband and the father of Kfir and Ariel, was taken captive separately and was ultimately released from Gaza on Feb. 1.

In addition to the bodies of the Bibas family and Lifshitz, Israel is preparing to receive six living hostages on Saturday as part of its ongoing ceasefire deal with Hamas.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights but did not receive a response in time for publication.
