Israel’s security cabinet is set to meet this morning to sign off on the final details of a ceasefire in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said negotiations with Hamas to release Israeli hostages were now complete.

If the deal approved by the cabinet, the ceasefire agreement would take effect on Sunday and involve the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, after which the terms of a permanent end to the war would be finalised.

G7 leaders on Thursday night called the agreement “a significant development” and urged Israel and Hamas to work on its “full implementation”.

Mr Netanyahu’s office had accused Hamas on Thursday of reneging on key parts of the agreement to extort last-minute concessions - an allegation Hamas denied.

On Thursday Israeli strikes killed dozens of people, Gaza rescuers said, while the IDF reported hitting about 50 targets across the territory over the past day.
