Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke this evening, between 5:46 PM and 7:16 PM UTC on January 14, 2026, with Tali and Itzik Goili, parents of abducted Major Ran Goili, stating that his return remains at the forefront and that a declaratory move on establishing a technocrats committee will not affect efforts to bring him back, according to a Prime Minister's Office statement. Netanyahu clarified that information provided to mediators by the IDF coordinator and his team will immediately translate into effective actions on the ground. He emphasized that Hamas must make a 100% effort to comply with agreement requirements and return all abductees, including the last one, Hero of Israel Ran Goili, as stated by the Prime Minister's Office. The call occurs amid recent developments in Gaza hostage negotiations, following President Donald Trump's envoy announcement over the past hour on January 14 of the second phase of a peace plan, which includes handing over the body of the remaining hostage, according to an X post by RafidFJ.
