Ex-army chief lambasts Israeli government for not working in good faith to free captives

Moshe Ya’alon, the former Israeli military chief, has claimed Israel’s government is acting against the country’s interest by trying to prolong the war on Gaza.

“The government wants the war to continue until the end of its term, which goes against Israeli interests,” Ya’alon told Israel’s Army Radio.

“It is not acting sincerely to free the hostages. We could have released them in November 2023.”
