Anat Angrest, the mother of kidnapped soldier Matan Angrest, responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that the costs of war have not passed his family by either, noting that "my son also canceled his wedding." In a post on X, Angrest wrote that "It also hasn't passed my family by, my son has been in the hellish dungeons of Gaza for 622 days. I'm waiting for you, Prime Minister, to save him."
