The Israeli government has approved the first phase of a Gaza deal which will lead to a ceasefire and the release of hostages and prisoners.
"The government has just now approved the framework for the release of all of the hostages – the living and the deceased," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on X early on Friday.
The Israeli military will now withdraw to a line that will leave it in control of about 53% of Gaza.
Hamas must then release 20 living hostages within 72 hours, followed by the return of the bodies of 28 deceased hostages.
Israel will then release about 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life terms and 1,700 detainees from Gaza, a Palestinian source told the BBC.
