Israeli security cabinet to vote on Gaza ceasefire deal
Uncertainty persists over a ceasefire deal in Gaza that's scheduled to start on the weekend. There's a delay in cabinet-level approval in Israel, even though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a vote will be taken to approve it, allowing the truce with Hamas to commence on Sunday as planned. An intended vote did not take place yesterday, Mr Netanyahu putting the blame on Hamas for what he said were "last-minute demands". Sarah Coates reports from Tel Aviv.
