Israeli security cabinet voted on Friday in favor of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage agreement previously reached between Hamas and Israel, calling on the wider government to accept it as well, according to a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
During the meeting, as per a Kan correspondent, Netanyahu read out commitments given by outgoing United States President Joe Biden, as well as excerpts from his conversation with Biden’s successor, Donald Trump, in which Israel was given guarantees that should negotiations in part two of the deal fall through, the fighting will continue.
The full cabinet will now vote on the agreement.
