Channel 12 reports that Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer has yet to meet with a single hostage family or present his own initiative for a hostage deal since taking over as the head of Israel’s hostage negotiating team last month.
Dermer’s office issues a statement saying that he has met with four hostage families in the last two weeks, but declines to reveal the names of those families.
