Tzvi Mor, father of hostage Etan Mor, said in an interview with ynet studio that 'we feel progress and know that negotiations are taking place at various levels, but we don't know the details.' He added that 'the current negotiations aren't happening in a vacuum. Without these negotiations, the second deal wouldn't have happened. Hamas will never release the hostages voluntarily.' Tzvi also noted that 'Israel cannot allow Hamas to return to power, the primary goal of the war is victory.'
