The Hostages' Families Headquarters responded to the Prime Minister's Office announcement about the return of the negotiating team from Doha for consultation, stating that "the families are anxiously following the reports." According to the headquarters, "The negotiations have been dragging on for too long. Each passing day endangers the hostages' rehabilitation prospects and the ability to locate the deceased and obtain intelligence information about them. The families are appealing to the Prime Minister, Minister Dermer and Gal Hirsch for an immediate update. Missing another opportunity to return all hostages is unforgivable. It would be a moral, security and political failure."
