“We worked hard to reach the desired results which we hoped to be crowned with the release of the abductees, but unfortunately we did not get to this result for many reasons, the most important of which is that the terrorist did not send any demands to be presented and discussed, and the constraints that the committee faced are numerous and there is no room to mention them now, so we announce our apologies for continuing our work, and as we apologize for pursuing our tasks as a committee; we put ourselves as individuals in the service of these case, and we are ready to cooperate with any party working to achieve this noble goal”.
