Israeli cabinet gives green light to Gaza truce deal

The Israeli security cabinet on Friday gave the green light to the ceasefire agreement with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, paving the way for the start of the truce on Sunday and the release of the first hostages on the same day.

Despite the announcement of an agreement by Qatar and the United States, the Israeli army continued its airstrikes on the Palestinian territory, which have left more than a hundred dead since Wednesday, according to emergency services.

After the green light from the security cabinet, a council of ministers must meet during the day to give its final agreement, which does not seem to be in doubt despite the opposition of far-right ministers.
