**Hostage Deal Agreed in Israel-Hamas Conflict**
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed a deal to release hostages. The agreement was made after Netanyahu delayed a cabinet meeting to approve a ceasefire in Gaza. He had accused Hamas of trying to make changes at the last minute.
On Friday morning, Netanyahu’s office said he had been informed of the deal by the negotiating group. Now, the government will meet later that day to approve the agreement. The families of the hostages have also been told about the deal.
Netanyahu had called for a cabinet meeting on Thursday to discuss a ceasefire in Gaza. However, it was delayed due to disagreements over last-minute changes proposed by Hamas.
