Former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Yair Golan, commented on the Channel 12 News report in which anonymous sources were quoted criticizing the conduct of the Prime Minister and hinting that he is thwarting a deal for the return of the hostages.

"The disaster government is abandoning citizens to their death in captivity. Netanyahu is not interested in a deal, he is only interested in his political survival. We need to shake the country and disrupt the order until the government realizes that it has no choice but to reach a deal," Golan said.
