Israel-Hamas ceasefire live updates: Israeli security cabinet set to vote on deal
Israeli security cabinet to vote on ceasefire deal today
The Israeli security cabinet will meet today to vote on the ceasefire and hostage release deal reached with Hamas, local media reported, bringing it one step closer to implementation.
The deal must then be approved by the full cabinet, which is set to meet Saturday, meaning the ceasefire would most likely not take effect until Monday so as to leave sufficient time for any appeals to Israel’s Supreme Court.
The vote was delayed yesterday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of seeking last-minute concessions, which the militant group denied. Netanyahu, who did not provide details of his allegations, later said he had been informed by his negotiating team that agreements on the hostage deal had been reached.
An Israeli official told NBC News that the security cabinet would convene at 10:15 a.m. local time (3:15 a.m. ET).
