The ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet gather at the premier’s office in Jerusalem to discuss the deal agreed to overnight in Sharm el-Sheikh to free the hostages and begin a ceasefire in Gaza.
The meeting has not yet started, the office of one of the ministers tells The Times of Israel.
The full cabinet will then meet to vote on the deal. A clear majority is expected to ratify the agreement, which would officially begin the ceasefire.
