A: Hey there! Heard anything interesting today?
B: Not really, just been studying Japanese all day. Why?

A: Oh, check this out! Seems like Israel's Defense Minister told the military to be ready for a new fight with Hamas if peace doesn't work out.
B: What's going on there? Aren't they supposed to have peace?

A: Yeah, they agreed to release all hostages but only 10 bodies were returned and one of them wasn't even a hostage. Now Hamas says it needs more time because the area is destroyed.
B: Wow, that doesn't sound good at all... So, the US is offering rewards for information on the remaining bodies, right?

A: Right! And Turkish experts might join the search too. It could take weeks, according to BBC and a US adviser.
B: That's tough... I hope it gets resolved soon. Let's grab some ramen later, okay?

A: Sounds good! Keep studying Japanese, you'll get there!
