Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- The Israeli security cabinet voted on Friday to back the recently agreed ceasefire deal with Hamas.
A statement by the Israeli Prime Minister’s office said the cabinet accepted the deal “after examining all political, security, and humanitarian aspects; and with the understanding that the proposed deal supports the achievement of the war’s goals”.
The cabinet also recommended that “the government approve the proposed outline”.
The deal will now move to the full cabinet for a discussion and vote.
On Wednesday, Israel and Hamas agreed to a three-phase ceasefire deal after 15 months of genocide. The Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani announced in Doha that the agreement would take effect on 19 January.
In January alone, Israeli forces and settlers carried out 28 raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque and prevented the call to prayer 57 times at the Ibrahimi Mosque, an official report said.
Israel is holding the bodies of around 777 identified Palestinians, including 88 detainees who died in Israeli prisons amid reports of torture and medical negligence, according to a Palestinian organization advocating for their release.
Only five of the 450 Palestinian patients in critical condition will be allowed to leave the Gaza Strip on Monday, after Israel reopened the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt for limited traffic following two years of genocide and nearly 20 months of closure.
