Constitution, Law and Justice Committee Chairman Simcha Rotman said that "it is a grave mistake to watch videos of the hostages." In an interview with Kol Barama radio, he claimed: "Just as when Hamas fires a missile and I enter a protected space to avoid being hit, when they fire a psychological missile I don't volunteer to let it enter my eyes and heart and harm me. Even without the videos we know that the hostages' situation is difficult."
