"Half a year our sisters and brothers have been held by a cruel enemy, our hearts falter, day after day, minute after minute - with them, there. Half a year we, the entire people, accompany, support, embrace the families of the hostages. We never forget them or their loved ones," Herzog said. (ANI)
