Israel's security cabinet is meeting now to vote on the Gaza ceasefire deal - here's what we know about the deal
The agreement will then need to be approved by the wider government and once all finalised, the first hostages "are expected to be released as early as Sunday", Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says
Although the ceasefire deal looks to be on track for Sunday, there are still some potential hurdles, our correspondent Joel Gunter in Jerusalem writes
In the meantime Israeli air strikes continue in Gaza, with the civil defence agency saying 113 Palestinians have been killed since the deal was announced on Wednesday
Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages
The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
