Hours before truce expires, ceasefire uncertain
Four hours before the five-day truce is set to expire, Channel 2’s nightly news opens with assessments that reflect the uncertainty of what the next few hours will bring.
Arab affairs analyst Ehud Ya’ari says the likelihood of resumed hostilities is “very low,” and says Egypt is making efforts to secure an extension of the truce.
Diplomatic correspondent Udi Segal stresses, however, that “there is no deal” and therefore Israel is braced for the possibility of resumed attacks from Gaza.
