- Families, former hostages, and the Israel Police hailed Gvili as a hero whose return is vital for societal recovery.
- The Gvili family met President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month as part of high-profile efforts to win Ran's return, and Omri said weeks ago it is inseparable from societal recovery.
