Alon Nimrodi, father of captive soldier Tamir, and Yehuda Cohen, father of captive soldier Nimrod, expressed their concerns about the contacts and the emerging framework in an interview with the ynet studio. Nimrodi said that "The agreement is terrible, it divides the hostages into equals and less equals. I heard statements from senior officials that they are making efforts to return 10 hostages, and after that they don't know what will happen." Cohen added: "They are sedating us with nice treatment and financial benefits - they are lying to our faces. My son is now in 20th place, once he was ranked at 150. 'We've made progress.'"
