Israeli Cabinet to vote on ceasefire deal with Hamas

Following the news of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Cabinet members are set to vote on the details today.

The official start was set to be on Sunday the 19th but may be delayed until Monday after PM.

Netenyahu accused Hamas of trying to “extort last minute concessions”.

The issues were resolved this morning, Hamas said.

There are three stages to the deal; the first is set to start with the releasing of hostages and prisoners from both sides.

There are 33 hostages from Israel and around 1000 prisoners from Palestine.

Reports from Gaza’s Civil Defence Agency show that at least 100 people have been killed in Gaza following the announcement of the ceasefire deal yesterday.

The latest reports show that supply trucks have lined up at the Egyptian border, ready to send in humanitarian aid.

Demonstrators that took part in the Pro-Palestine marches from last year, have plans to “continue boycotting”.

“Everything will just continue because we don’t just want a ceasefire,” said Hadil Kekhya, President of BU’s Palestinian Society.

“We still have to take action.”
