The Hostage Families Headquarters has responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hint that Hamas would dictate the list of hostages to be released as part of a hostage deal. In an appeal to the government, the headquarters wrote: "We demand to receive full information about how it will be determined which of the hostages will be released, and who will be sentenced to continue being subjected to torture and immediate danger; we want to know which officials will decide on the matter and what criteria will be used to make the decision."
