Ruby Chen, father of kidnapped soldier-casualty Itay Chen, said in an interview with ynet studio that "we are happy for the Alexander family, and we see what a leader who did everything to free his citizens looks like. I regret that the prime minister isn't doing the same."
According to him, "It's possible to end the war and free all the hostages. We are in direct contact with the relevant parties."
He also noted that "The will of the people is to bring everyone back, begin rehabilitation and return the country to its path."
