He revealed that he had received a 'sign of life' from IDF intelligence, indicating that there is hope for the hostages' well-being. Yehuda Cohen's presence in Washington, DC, during Netanyahu's visit was intended to remind the Prime Minister of the pressing need to take action and secure a deal for the hostages' release.
