Israeli author and columnist Gideon Levy has told Al Jazeera that he is not concerned that the ceasefire deal will jeopardize tomorrow’s planned captives-prisoners exchange after Israeli claims that one of the bodies returned on Thursday was not that of the female captive Shiri Bibas. “First of all, we have to go through the phase of tomorrow, which is a critical one because it’s about six living hostages getting back home. Israel will not do anything before this.” After Saturday, the future looks “very vague because if it depends on Israel, there will be no second phase, and it all depends on the Americans”, he said.
