Varda Ben Baruch, Idan Alexander's grandmother, told Keshet News that 'he must be very happy to see his mother. Thank God, praise the Lord for He is good, His mercy endures forever. Thank God we all made it, the whole family. Yael (Idan's mother) gets to hug him now. Adi (his father) and siblings Mika and Roy are on their way to Israel, they're coming to see him. I'm happy. What does a grandmother ask for? For her grandson to be well.' Grandfather Baruch added: 'The reports that he needed Red Cross help to walk are incorrect. He's already had cola, laughed. He even used the bathroom in Israel.'
