They’d love not to, but they probably will for the same reason they even accepted the deal to begin with. If we believe that the ceasefire deal is real, then something made Netanyahu think signing a deal now was a good idea. Signing a ceasefire deal this late into the game, too late to save Israel’s reputation but without accomplishing the war’s initial objectives, is strategically a bad decision so something must have changed and while until we know what that is we can’t make predictions but I’m cautiously optimistic.
Note: I’m of course happy about the ceasefire, but with the information we have available I don’t understand why someone who decidedly doesn’t care for Palestinian lives (or really any except his own) would accept this deal.
