The Hostage Families' Headquarters for the Return of Hostages responded to reports that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir will meet today to coordinate efforts to "thwart a hostage deal," stating: "Smotrich and Ben Gvir have forgotten what it means to be Jewish and the significance of the values of camaraderie and mutual responsibility upon which the State of Israel was founded. We have only one word for them this morning - shame."
