Chagai Angrest, the father of kidnapped soldier Matan Angrest, shared about his visit to the U.S. and said: "We returned from Washington after massive meetings with senior administration officials and the Prime Minister, but the talks are still ongoing." Angrest added in an interview with the Ynet studio: "We met with Bohler's deputy, and he told us unequivocally that the first phase is a process and immediately after that they will discuss ending the war. We understood this from all the senior officials, including the prime minister who told us that for the first time they are discussing ending the war immediately after the hostages are released."
