The Headquarters of Families of the Hostages responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that "a partial deal is not on the agenda," saying it represents opposition to a method that the Prime Minister himself initiated. "Netanyahu, the father of the phased approach and founder of the selection method, is opposing a system he created and an agreement he already approved. The truth is out. This isn't a negotiation strategy, it's a sabotage strategy and burial of the agreement," they stated.
