Mediators herald Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. Israel says final details are in flux
apnews.com
Mediators say Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal to pause the devastating 15-month war in the Gaza Strip, raising the possibility of winding down the deadliest and most destructive fighting between the bitter enemies.

“U.S. President Joe Biden then touted the deal from Washington, saying the ceasefire will stay in place as long as Israel and Hamas remain at the negotiating table over a long-term truce. Biden said his administration and President-elect Donald Trump’s team were “speaking as one” in the negotiations.”

    FTA:

    “Any agreement must be approved by Netanyahu’s Cabinet.”

    So be prepared for the whole thing to fall apart still. In theory the vote will be Thursday.

        Ben-Gvir said. “If the agreement is approved, we will submit letters of resignation and no longer be part of the government.” He added that his faction would only rejoin the coalition if military operations resumed with the clear goal of achieving decisive victory and fulfilling the war’s objectives.
