Vote on Gaza Cease-Fire Delayed Amid Disagreements [View all]

The Israeli government is not expected to vote on the cease-fire deal with Hamas until at least Friday, Israeli officials said, after last-minute disputes with Hamas and rifts over the agreement emerged inside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition.

On Thursday night, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s hard-line national security minister, threatened to resign and remove his party from the Israeli government if the cabinet voted to approve the provisional cease-fire deal. He offered to rejoin Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition should Israel resume its war against Hamas.
