Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, delivered a statement in the Hostages Square, saying that "In the last two days we watched the difficult videos of Rom and Evyatar from captivity. Our children are going through a Holocaust. 'Never again' is happening right now to my Matan and the rest of the hostages." According to her, "Jews are becoming skin and bones because of political survival. If we don't get everyone out now, they won't survive much longer." Zangauker added that "The only thing we haven't tried is a comprehensive agreement in exchange for ending the war. An agreement with real feasibility - not empty slogans."
