The Hostages' Families Headquarters responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements with this message: "The objectives you presented in media briefings are just another spin and throwing sand in the public's eyes. These are unrealistic conditions that effectively mean sacrificing the hostages in captivity and continuing to risk IDF soldiers' lives without purpose." The headquarters added: "Mr. Prime Minister, for 22 months you have failed to bring our loved ones home. Enough with presentations, stalling and sabotage. Everyone knows that the only path to victory is a comprehensive agreement to return the 50 hostages and end the fighting."
