The Hostage Families Forum responded to statements made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the government meeting, according to which "those calling for an end to the war ensure that October 7 will happen again," saying: "Netanyahu, for 22 months the hostages have been rotting in Gaza - on your watch. Instead of deceiving the public, spreading spin and defaming the hostage families, return our loved ones in a deal and end the war. This is the only resolution that the people of Israel demand, and this is the only possible resolution. Today all of Israel knows there were many opportunities to bring back the hostages."
