Netanyahu’s office confirms ceasefire with Hamas, says time to be determined
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirms the security cabinet has unanimously approved a ceasefire in Gaza.
A statement says the ministers agreed to “accept the Egyptian initiative for a mutual ceasefire without any conditions, which will go into effect at an hour that will be determined later.”
Before the vote, defense officials presented the ministers with Israel’s military achievements in the campaign, some of them “unprecedented,” the statement says.
