Efforts are being made to approve the Israeli response to the potential hostage-ceasefire deal as early as today, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet the Israeli negotiating team in the coming hours before flying to the United States.

Last night, anti-government protesters gathered in cities nationwide, calling on Netanyahu not to depart for Washington until he has first signed a deal with the Hamas terror group to facilitate the return of the hostages from Gaza.
