The headquarters of the families of the hostages commented on the ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, saying: "After 12 days and nights during which the people of Israel couldn't sleep because of Iran, we can finally go back to not sleeping because of the hostages." They also stated that "it's unimaginable that after a brilliant operation in Iran, Israel would return to sinking in the Gaza quagmire. Ending the operation in Iran without utilizing it to return all hostages would be a severe diplomatic failure. There is a historic window of opportunity, and the Israeli government has a duty to seize this opportunity with both hands."
