The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has appealed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his scheduled press conferences for foreign and Israeli media, describing these press conferences as "show-off performances." The forum wrote: "We call on you to use the platform tonight and declare clearly and decisively your commitment to returning all 50 hostages in one comprehensive deal. 22 months have passed. Enough with the foot-dragging and surrender to political considerations of a delusional and extreme minority, before it's too late, before the sacrifice. Act now, before it's too late."
