Ruchama Bohbot, mother of hostage Elkana Bohbot, spoke with the ynet studio and addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that positioned "hostage rescue" as the central war objective. "There are only empty talks, I understand from the headlines that in Israel they are not brave, that there is no intention to reach a deal," she said. "They want to continue the 'military pressure,' and there are no results except our children being killed, our soldiers." According to her, the family has not received new information about Elkana's condition. "We continue to breathe our last breaths, until something happens," she added.
