‘Return them all on o

“While families wait and hope for the release of each and every hostage from Hamas captivity, the reality is that partial releases are a dangerous concept,” the forum said in a statement. “Government officials continue to speak of increasing military pressure to free all the hostages, yet in practice negotiations are stuck, hostages’ lives are at risk, and fallen soldiers’ bodies are disappearing.”

The statement concluded with a demand for an immediate, comprehensive deal: “The State of Israel is obligated to bring them all back. We demand the only reasonable and viable solution: an end to the war and the immediate return of all hostages together, in a single phase.”

According to the Tikvah Forum, in which the Mor family is active, Netanyahu emphasized during the call that the deal was not yet finalized but reaffirmed the government’s commitment to bringing back all hostages. The Mor family reiterated their position that all captives should be released together, “on one bus and without selection.”

Reports in Saudi television outlet Al-Arabiya late Sunday suggested some progress had been made in the negotiations. Citing unnamed sources, the outlet said there is “initial agreement” from Hamas to increase the number of hostages it is willing to release. The report indicated that Hamas is preparing to submit a detailed list of hostages and agree to a two-phase release plan based on specific timelines.
