TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that a “last minute crisis” with Hamas was holding up Israeli approval of a long-awaited agreement to pause the fighting in the Gaza Strip and release dozens of hostages. Israeli airstrikes meanwhile killed dozens of people across the war-ravaged territory.

Netanyahu’s office said his Cabinet won’t meet to approve the agreement until Hamas backs down, accusing it of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt to gain further concessions, without elaborating.

Izzat al-Rishq, a senior Hamas official, said the militant group “is committed to the ceasefire agreement, which was announced by the mediators.” More Here

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — We are currently in the midst of one of the most dramatic news cycles in modern Israeli history.

Last night, after 467 days of hell for almost 100 Israeli hostages, we learned that a deal has been finally struck to get all the hostages out of Gaza.

But we also learned that Israel will pay a very steep and painful price — releasing hardened Palestinian terrorists in order to secure the release of our people.

Today, at 11am local time, the Security Cabinet will formally vote to accept the deal.

On Sunday at 12:15pm local time, the deal — including a six week ceasefire in Gaza — will commence.

Already, social media is blowing up with people praising the deal and people bitterly condemning it.

Opponents argue Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given up too much to get our 97 Israeli and American citizens back.

But for months polls have shown that more than 70% of Israelis wanted a comprehensive deal to “bring them all home now,” even if the concessions were costly.

So, I suspect the vast majority of Israelis are going to be immensely relieved and grateful for this deal, especially as we begin to see tearful reunions between hostages and their families and friends. More Here
