Tal Kopershtein, father of hostage Bar Kopershtein, said at the Hostages Square in Tel Aviv that "Bar has been in tunnels 50 meters underground for 610 days, without food, without daylight. How does he sleep? Is he wounded? He is also dealing with fear from IDF bombardments." According to him, "we need a deal now that will get him and all the hostages out. I, with my difficult medical condition, call on the Prime Minister to agree to a deal where everyone returns home - now."
