Alon Liel, a former director of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, says he’s not confident of a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. “I don’t think the Israeli government thinks in terms of a lasting peace agreement. I think we might see a ceasefire and exchange of hostages to prisoners. I’m not sure at all about an end to the war,” Liel told Al Jazeera from Tel Aviv. “Peace is still very far away.” He said on the eve of the two-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks, the Israeli public is extremely eager to get the captives held by Hamas returned from Gaza, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recognises it. “And I think the Palestinians would very much like to see their prisoners back and I think this deal can be agreed – even if it will take a week or two. Then we go to issues of the depth of the [troop] withdrawal and the involvement or disappearance of Hamas. These are very complicated issues,” said Liel. “This will be done under fire because we have so many soldiers there you cannot prevent clashes and hostilities.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #DonaldTrump #UnitedStates #Israel #GazaGenocide #GazaCeasefire #Palestine #IsraelGazaWar #GazaWar #GazaCeasefirePlan #Hamas #TumpGazaPlan #Netanyahu #AlJazeeraEnglish
