On Monday, a Knesset subcommittee is holding a discussion on the false use of artificial intelligence tools during the war, with the participation of the families of the abductees and bereaved families. Yizhar Lifshitz, whose father encouraged a kidnapper in Gaza, said at the beginning of the hearing: "The family of the abductees came to cry out, every day that passes we have fewer abductees alive, so we want to say that's it, we want everyone now. I wish they would see us as a need and not just a burden." He added: "Give us back the abductees alive, whatever the cost."

During the hearing, bereaved fathers also cried out that the fighting must continue. Itzik Fitoussi, who lost his son, said: "I know what it's like to live in a room and a half, three months in a hotel when you can't even make an omelet. The fighting must continue until the end, the soldiers want, let the IDF not stop for a moment until the return of the hostages and victory." My father, another bereaved father, said: "If we don't sacrifice, we will never finish. Give the strength to the IDF."
