Herut Nimrodi, mother of kidnapped soldier Tamir Nimrodi, addressed the hostage deal negotiations in an interview with ynet studio, saying that "Bibi explicitly said yesterday that he wants the hostages, but not at any price. That's a very problematic statement." According to her, "What that means is 'I don't want the hostages unless my demands are met.' They say one of the clauses in the deal is to receive information about hostages left behind, but any information is only accurate at that moment and things can change a minute later."
