Multiple outlets are reporting that ministers are meeting to give final approval for a hostage release deal with Hamas. Such a deal is widely expected to be approved.
Prior to that 8 p.m. meeting, the war cabinet will meet at 6 p.m. and the security cabinet will meet at 7 p.m. to okay the deal as well.
Meeting with reserves troops in southern Israel earlier, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "we are advancing” toward a deal. "I don’t think I should say too much, even now, but I hope we have good news soon.”
Earlier, Channel 12 News cited a senior Israeli official as saying, "we are very close to a deal.”
