Sylvia Cunio, mother of hostages Ariel and David Cunio, addressed U.S. President Donald Trump's call to cancel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial, saying in an interview with ynet studio that "it could be very right to stop the trial and give him some freedom to think logically. A person who is under pressure from all directions does not think logically and cannot think clearly. I think it's right that they stop it, make the deal and bring back the hostages. In one phase, that's the main thing."
