Israel unlikely to move to second phase of ceasefire deal with Hamas in power: Analysis
Former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas told Al Jazeera he doesn’t believe the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel will move into the second phase, due to start on March 1, which would include a permanent ceasefire and an almost full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, with Hamas staying in power. While Hamas has been significantly degraded militarily, politically they maintain power and there’s no replacement to fill the vacuum, Pinkas said. Meanwhile, Xavier Abu Eid, a political analyst, speaks to Al Jazeera from Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. He says, “The furore surrounding the provocative shirts emblazoned with slogans that Palestinian prisoners were made to wear by the Israeli prison authorities upon their release underscores a long policy of ‘humiliation’.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/Kt2HgJm Check our website: https://ift.tt/fLt24XH Check out our Instagram page: https://ift.tt/7ftZ3CJ Download AJE Mobile App: https://ift.tt/ljGrKq6 #Palestine #Gaza #HamasCaptives #QassamBrigades #HostageRelease #GazaCaptives #HamasStatement #AlexanderTrufanov #SaguiDekelChen #YairHorn #HamasAnnouncement #CaptivesNamesRevealed #aljazeeraenglish #BreakingNews #aljazeeralivenews #aljazeeraenglish
