Talia Berman, the mother of kidnapped twins Gali and Ziv Berman, stated that she prefers to keep the details of her conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu private. However, her sister, Machbit Meir, told Ynet that a phone call took place with Netanyahu, mediated by Gal Hirsch, in which both she and Talia participated. "Netanyahu promised my sister that he is doing everything to bring her sons home," Meir said. "She shared with him the unbearable and agonizing hardship of having both her children in danger, fearing for their lives. The prime minister listened and spoke about the efforts being made to bring them back. The family is grateful to Hirsch for facilitating the conversation and to Netanyahu for his support and encouragement."
