Israel approves ceasefire agreement on Friday
The Israeli Security and Political Affairs Council (the cabinet) and the government will hold two meetings on Friday and Saturday to give final approval to a ceasefire, which Israeli reports confirmed on Thursday evening had been completed after “resolving the points of contention.”
In contrast, an Israeli official stated that the government and the cabinet will not hold the meetings before "the matters are fully completed," while Channels 12 and 13 indicated that the government meeting will be held on Saturday evening.
An Israeli official confirmed on Thursday evening that "all recent disputes with Hamas have been resolved," and the cabinet is expected to meet tomorrow to ratify an agreement, after which the government will meet to ratify it, according to Israeli reports.
The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation ("Kan 11") reported, quoting an Israeli source, that the cabinet meeting will be held on Friday morning.
It also quoted two sources, who confirmed their participation in the negotiations, as saying that "the differences have been resolved, and the agreement will be implemented."
She also indicated that "the Israeli delegation in Doha is preparing to leave Qatar for Israel soon."
