Israeli political commentator Ori Goldberg tells Al Jazeera that Israel “is most likely too weak to do anything to change the course of the ceasefire“. “Israel’s attempt to insist that all the captives are to be released on Saturday is based on a very vague, intentionally ambiguous statement by US President Trump, who talked about the release of all the captives,” he said. “I don’t think Israel can do a great deal to prevent the ceasefire and certainly phase one from moving forward,” he said.
