Minister Orit Strook (Religious Zionism) told ynet that "It was written in the agreement that until all living hostages and bodies return, not a single terrorist would be released. I want to see that happen, and unfortunately I'm not optimistic." She added: "The agreement is explicitly not in our favor - we see this agreement as Oslo C. We're handing our security to foreign hands." Regarding whether resignation is an option, Strook responded: "I don't know. We will hear everything in today's discussion and decide. Everything is on the table. I'm not optimistic about the details of the agreement."
