The Prime Minister's Office says that despite bureaucratic delays, hostages are still expected to be released from Gaza on Sunday as planned. Once the ceasefire deal is approved and in effect, the release of hostages can proceed. The security cabinet is currently meeting and the full government is expected to approve the deal tomorrow evening. The High Court is still set to hear petitions against the deal, but it is unlikely to intervene.
