Israel’s full cabinet has approved the Gaza ceasefire deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed.
Israel’s security cabinet previously recommended that the deal be approved earlier on Friday, with the truce likely to start on Sunday.
Initially, the deal would see 33 of 98 hostages freed over a six-week period, with around half of the 98 believed to still be alive.
