Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., joins NPR's Michel Martin to discuss Israel's security cabinet approving a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. The agreement still needs the full cabinet's OK.

NPR's Michel Martin talks to Amos Hochstein, senior adviser to President Biden, about the latest ceasefire deal in Gaza and his earlier negotiations for a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Israel's security cabinet voted to approve a ceasefire deal to end the fighting in Gaza. Full cabinet approval is expected later Friday, a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.

Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on a multiphase ceasefire that commits them to end the war in Gaza.

Senior researcher at the Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University explains the developments in the Gaza Strip in context of the hostage deal and the ceasefire.

All four hostages are female Israeli soldiers. They are expected to be released Saturday in accordance with a ceasefire agreement with Israel that's halted fighting in the Gaza war since last weekend.
