ISRAEL: GLZ-Full Cabinet To Meet @ 1530 Local To Approve Gaza Ceasefire Deal

ISRAEL

Israeli Army Radio (GLZ) reporting that the full cabinet will meet at 1530 local time (0830ET, 1330GMT, 1430CET) to approve the Gaza ceasefire-for-hostages deal. Earlier today, Israeli outlets had reported that a full cabinet meeting to sign off on the agreement would not take place until Saturday evening in order to avoid Shabbat (sunset Friday-sunset Saturday). However, it appears that this timeline has been moved up, with N12 reporting that the Cabinet meeting is set to run into Friday evening. 

  • Times of Israel reports that the implementation of the deal will come into force from 1215 local time (0515ET, 1015GMT, 1115CET) on Sunday 19 Jan.
  • As we noted earlier (see 'ISRAEL: Security Cabinet Starts Meeting On Gaza Ceasefire Deal', 0951GMT) the full Cabinet is set to approve the deal even with the resignation/opposition of ultranationalist parties in coalition.
