Israel has delayed a cabinet vote on the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal, citing Hamas for not fully adhering to the agreement. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated that Hamas had reneged on certain aspects of the deal in an attempt to secure additional concessions. Consequently, the Israeli cabinet postponed its meeting until mediators confirm Hamas' full acceptance of the agreement.
