Cabinet vote said delayed until Saturday night as US urges swift approval of deal

The cabinet vote on the hostage-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has been delayed until Saturday night, causing frustration from the US. The final hurdles delaying the deal have reportedly been cleared, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is waiting for the terms to be finalized before publicly commenting. The delay is said to be due to coalition politics, with Netanyahu's far-right coalition partner threatening to quit the government if the deal is approved. The US administration wants the deal authorized quickly and believes Netanyahu has the votes for it to pass. The deal is scheduled to take effect on Sunday.
