Following statements by a senior political source that "the U.S. and Israel understand there will be no more partial deals," the Hostage and Missing Families Forum said that "with a terrible delay, the Israeli government understands what citizens have been saying for over a year - there is no place and no operational or moral logic in partial selective deals."
According to the statement, "We must abandon this concept that has been failing us for long months and endangering the hostages and the chance to bring them back. The transition to efforts for achieving a comprehensive agreement has been a necessity of reality for a long time."
