The likelihood of Phase Two - with Amit Segal
As phase 1 of the ceasefire and hostage deal enters its final week, the fate of phase 2 of the deal remains uncertain. While hostages’ families are urging for a continuation of the deal to bring all the remaining hosages home, parts of the Israeli government are pressing for a return to the war.
With Mideast Envoy Steve Witkoff traveling to the region this week to push for an extension of the deal, we turned to a Call Me Back regular and leading Israeli journalist to make sense of the mixed signals we are seeing from every direction.
Amit Segal is a columnist for Yediot Ahronot, and a senior political analyst for Israel’s Channel 12.
