Osnat Sharabi Matalon, the sister of Yossi Sharabi, who was killed in captivity by Hamas, and Eli Sharabi, who is still being held in Gaza, said: "Eli turned 52 and is still in captivity, and Yossi has no memorial and no grave. Yossi's time is running out, and Eli is alive and shouting 'save me.’"
Sharon Aloni Conio, who was released from captivity together with her daughters, and whose husband David remains in Gaza: "I am begging you - enter into negotiations in Cairo today. Such an opportunity will not come again for many months. Do not sentence my husband to death."
Gil Dikman, a family member of Carmel Gat, who is being held captive, and Jordan Roman, who was released in a hostage deal, said: "When they kidnapped them, they didn't check who they voted for. Listen to their cry - they are shouting: 'Netanyahu, save our lives'."
Lishay Miran, the wife of Omri Miran who was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, addressed the prime minister and the War Cabinet with these words: "How many more nights will Roni and Alma sleep without their father? How many more mornings will they wake up and find that he still hasn't returned?"
