In December 1993, the Post ran a story from Reuters saying that the Syrian government promised to help determine the fate of seven missing Israeli soldiers, a move then-US Secretary of State Warren Christopher called “an important humanitarian gesture.” This included Feldman and other soldiers who went missing in the same year, as well as four who disappeared in 1986. The last of the Post’s coverage in the archives on this matter was a report of the families of those deemed “MIA” marking 15 years since their disappearance in a vigil held at Knesset, attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — when he first came into power. Defense Minister Israel Katz said, "We continue to act in every possible way to bring back Staff Sergeant Yehuda Katz," adding Israel would operate to bring "back all the missing and captives to our land—both the living and those who are no longer among the living—is not only a profound commitment, but also our moral and national duty."
