Yonatan Shamriz, one of the founders of the "Kumu" (Awaken) movement and brother of Alon, who was kidnapped and accidentally shot dead by IDF forces, said in response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's press conference that "the PM is confused, thanking Biden instead of Trump, talking about Haredi lives instead of hostage lives." Shamriz added that "he presents us with five conditions for ending the war, just as he told us there are two goals for the war, defeating Hamas and returning the hostages. I told him long ago, there is only one goal, to bring back the hostages."
