ISRAEL’S cabinet met to vote on the Gaza ceasefire deal today after the security cabinet recommended approving the agreement earlier.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the first set of the remaining hostages are “expected to be as released as early as Sunday” as part of phase one if the deal is approved.

Under phase one, the remaining hostages would be released in return for more Palestinian prisoners, who are often held in Israeli prisons without a trial.
