In this engaging discussion, guests Alon Liel, former director of Israel's foreign ministry, Xavier Abu Eid, political analyst and ex-PLO advisor, and Akiva Eldar, Haaretz contributor, unpack the complex decision by Israel to delay the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners. They explore the political motivations behind Israel's actions, the implications for Netanyahu's domestic standing, and the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The conversation also touches on the potential for a broader resolution in the Israeli-Arab context.
