Likud's Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen said in a Ynet studio interview that 'we have 24 hostages who are believed to be alive. We are providing information to families with full transparency and in an orderly manner.' Regarding strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, Cohen said 'our strikes are precise and sharp, causing significant damage.' Cohen also addressed the draft law, stating 'it needs to be passed, our ultra-Orthodox brothers must enlist. We need to sit until white smoke emerges, an agreement is possible.'
