Israeli government officials have approved a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, allowing for the release of hostages held in Gaza and a temporary halt to the 15-month conflict. The agreement was approved by Israel's security cabinet and then by the full cabinet. The ceasefire is expected to take effect on Sunday and will last for six weeks. The agreement includes the release of hostages, but the names of those being released and their status have not been confirmed.
