Ilan Dalal, father of captive Guy Gilboa-Dalal, said at the Hostages Square in Tel Aviv that 'today we mark Guy's second birthday in Hamas captivity. We never believed for a moment that a whole year would pass and Guy still wouldn't return home.' He said he 'begs and prays that he is not exposed to media.' According to him, 'I hope they don't see how they're being abandoned again, I pray they don't hear how a minister in the government responsible for them says they're not the most important thing, that they can be given up on.'
