Dudu Ziyoni, Ran Gvili’s uncle, said in an interview with ynet studio that “every news item and every beep that comes out to the media or social networks makes our hearts race. They update us whether it’s true or not so we won’t be tense.” He added that “Hamas and Islamic Jihad are playing with us. As long as Rani is with them, they have a bargaining chip. If they return him, they won’t have any leverage. We hope they won’t move to phase B without him.”
