Israeli Security Cabinet Approves Gaza Ceasefire Deal: PM Netanyahu Office
The Israeli security cabinet approved a Gaza ceasefire and captive release deal on Friday, recommending that the wider government give its final green light, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
“After reviewing all the political, security and humanitarian aspects, and understanding that the proposed deal supports achieving the objectives of the war, (the security cabinet) has recommended that the government approve the proposed framework,” the office said in a statement.
The Israeli high court is still scheduled to hear petitions against elements of the agreement, but it is widely expected not to intervene.
The full cabinet will convene later on Friday to decide on the deal.
