Israeli government approves Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal, paving way for Sunday implementation
Israel’s government has approved a ceasefire and hostage deal, paving the way for the agreement to come into effect on Sunday, according to a statement from the prime minister’s office.
The Government has approved the framework for the return of the hostages. The framework for the hostages’ release will come into effect on Sunday, January 19, 2025. Shabbat Shalom.
Statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office.
The 33-member group of ministers approved the agreement following a recommendation earlier Friday by the smaller security cabinet. Deliberations stretched over seven hours, late into the night on Friday into early Saturday morning local time.
Though Israel’s Supreme Court will still hear appeals by any Israelis opposing freedom for any Palestinian prisoners slated for release, that process is not expected to stand in the way of the ceasefire coming into force on Sunday.
