Agreement expected to be signed at noon

The signing of an agreement on the first stage of US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza is expected to take place in the Egyptian beach resort of Sharm el-Sheikh at 12 p.m. Israel time, a source briefed on the details of the agreement tells Reuters.

The ceasefire is expected to come into effect on the ground in Gaza once the deal is signed, the source adds.

Israel’s Security Cabinet will meet at 5 p.m. to discuss the deal before it goes before the full cabinet for a vote, where it is expected to be approved, an Israeli source said earlier.
