Hostage families responded to reports that U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the demand for Israel-Saudi normalization in negotiations with Riyadh, stating 'We are facing the missed opportunity of the century, one that is historic and unprecedented. The government's strategy risks collapse and could pave the way for a complete diplomatic, security and moral defeat.' The families added, 'We repeat our demand to the government - immediately fulfill the people's will. Return all hostages - the living for rehabilitation and the deceased for proper burial.'
