Israeli authorities have announced that every released hostage will be entitled to the rights of an IDF disabled veteran or victim of hostile actions, with a 100% disability rating and lifetime medical treatment. This recognition includes all rights in areas such as mental support, employment, education, and housing. The amendment is based on the experiences of hostages who returned after a long period of captivity and aims to provide comprehensive care and support. Families of released hostages have expressed frustration with the government's handling of the matter and are crowdfunding for medical treatments and rehabilitation.
