US President Donald Trump’s cabinet is meeting in Washington, DC, hours after the announcement of a US-backed ceasefire and hostage-release agreement in Gaza.
A livestream of the meeting is available here:
The meeting was scheduled for 11 a.m. local time (6 p.m. Israel time) and is beginning with a delay. It comes as Israel’s cabinet is preparing to meet to ratify the deal. The deal is expected to be approved, after which a ceasefire would take effect.
Trump, who unveiled the ceasefire deal last week, has made no secret of his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, whose laureate will be announced tomorrow. At a previous US cabinet meeting, his Middle East envoy, said he wished the Nobel Committee would “get its act together” and award Trump the prize, garnering applause from the other cabinet members in the room.
