6. SOUNDBITE (English) Udi Goren, relative of hostage:
“Now, when we’ve met with the entire cabinet, what we’ve heard is that taking down Hamas and bringing the hostages are as important, are equally important. As far as I am concerned, and I represent myself and my family, this is incredibly disappointing because I feel that at this point, when we know that taking down Hamas, we keep hearing from them, is going to take months or years and it’s going to take a long time. On the other hand, the other objective is time sensitive. People are dying. We know that for sure.”

ANNOTATION: Some of the hostage families have said they fear that the military offensive endangers their loved ones.
ANNOTATION: However, Israel’s leaders have argued that only military pressure on Hamas will lead to hostage releases.
