Hostage survivor Romi Gonen painfully responded to the publication of proof of life from hostage Evyatar David and called for the immediate return of the hostages. In her Instagram account, she wrote that "For everyone, Friday is a family day, but for Evyatar and the remaining 49 hostages, it's another day of hell in Gaza. The images released today of Evyatar only prove to us what condition they are in there." She added: "Why hasn't Evyatar returned yet to hug Yaela? Why did I return but Rom Braslavski didn't? How can we breathe when we are here and they are still there? They have no time, we must bring everyone home."
