Chagai Angrest, father of kidnapped soldier Matan Angrest, said in an interview with ynet studio that "my son is severely wounded and in real danger. He fought for more than two hours for his country and suffered a severe lynch, and the state isn't doing everything to fight for blue and white lives." Chagai also addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement about "news" regarding the hostages "today or tomorrow," saying "The PM is treating this like theater, this isn't a joke. He's playing with human lives, he needs to stop putting on shows."
