The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that it had “reached an agreement on the release of hostages” held in the Gaza Strip, adding that a meeting of the security cabinet was scheduled for Friday.
The prime minister’s office on Thursday accused Hamas of going back on key points of the agreement to extract last-minute concessions, which Hamas denied.
The agreement was announced on Wednesday by the mediators, Qatar and the United States.
US President-elect Donald Trump said on Thursday the deal would never have been reached without pressure from him and his incoming administration.
-The Israeli security cabinet is therefore due to meet on Friday. Washington said it was “confident” that the ceasefire would begin on Sunday.
