DOHA — Israel’s security cabinet is approving a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas.

Now, the full 33-member cabinet will vote to approve the deal sometime this morning. It comes after negotiators for Israel and Hamas reportedly signed off on the deal.

Multiple reports say the deal was signed today in Qatar by officials from Israel, Hamas, the U.S. and Qatari officials.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement saying “The families of the hostages were informed a short while ago of the agreements,” and that the Coordinator for Prisoners and Missing Persons is preparing for the reception of the hostages upon their return to Israel.
