Israel’s President Isaac Hertzog said that “the reservations” regarding the truce agreement and release of Palestinian prisoners “are understandable, painful, and difficult, but given the circumstances, I back and support the decision … to move forward with the deal to release hostages” on his X account.
“The state of Israel, the IDF, and all the security forces will continue to act in every way possible to achieve this goal [of getting all captives released], alongside the restoration of the absolute security of the citizens of Israel,” he added.
