Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage Nimrod Cohen, addressed former U.S. President Donald Trump's statement that 21 hostages remain alive in captivity in a conversation with ynet, noting that 'Trump's casual mention of the number of hostages shows another aspect of their abandonment by Netanyahu's government.' Cohen said 'Sensitive information is circulating around the world, anyone can throw around numbers as if these were mere commodities. It's an open market at the expense of hostage families and their feelings. Netanyahu just sits there calculating his profits from this.'
