Anat Angrest said in an interview with ynet that "in the last two videos we see that our children are in a Holocaust that is being prolonged by the Israeli government. Aviatar looked different in the previous video. They call these videos 'signs of life,' but they are signs of death." According to her, "Matan needed medical treatment, but he remained in captivity because he's a soldier, while they talk about draft-dodging laws. His service is to his detriment. I have correspondence with military intelligence that Matan remains there because he's a soldier. No soldier has returned in an Israeli deal."
