The final disputes in the agreement between Israel and Hamas should be resolved, according to a source with knowledge of Axios, which Reuters reported on.
During Thursday, it was reported that Israel has set up today’s government meeting, where the decision on the ceasefire was to be made.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has, according to a statement from his office, accused Hamas of coming up with new demands “in an attempt to force concessions at the last minute.”
However, representatives from Hamas have rejected the information, and said that they stand behind the agreement presented.
It was during Wednesday that the first reports of an agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza came.
The agreement has three parts, where the parties have so far only stated that they agree on the first. The first part is supposed to start on Sunday. Then all violence in Gaza will cease for six weeks.
