Sputnik News – Earlier in the week, contradicting reports emerged in regard with the possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after tensions erupted in May. On Wednesday, a senior Hamas official, Mousa Abu Marzook, said he expected the ceasefire to happen “within a day or two”.
The Israeli security cabinet moved to approve a truce between Israel and Hamas on Thursday, according to reports by Israeli media.
It was not immediately clear when exactly the ceasefire will come into effect, with Channel 12 reporting it is expected to begin at 2 a.m. local time.
