Lishay Lavi Miran, the wife of hostage Omri, addressed reports about renewed negotiations for a hostage release deal in an interview with ynet studio, saying she is "staying away from the news." She shared: "Two weeks ago I celebrated Roni's fourth birthday without Omri. Yesterday I celebrated another kindergarten graduation party with Alma without him. Another deal has collapsed, we're exactly where we were a year ago." Additionally, Lishay spoke about plans to shut down the economy on Sunday: "I hope we won't need to continue."
