Leading families of the hostages involved in the Begin protest responded to Hamas's announcement about the release of Idan Alexander: 'The news of Idan's release fills us with joy. At the same time, we remain concerned about the other 58 hostages. From a situation where releases were achieved through Trump's pressure, we've moved to releases made for Trump. It appears the Israeli government has no connection, part, or interest in returning its citizens. It's time to abandon Netanyahu's conception that war will free the hostages. End the war and bring everyone home now.'
