• Officials say the deal is due to be signed in Egypt and calls for a one-time release of about 20 living hostages within 72 hours in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to convene his cabinet to ratify the agreement, while the Israeli military says it is preparing to receive hostages and to be ready for all scenarios.
• The first phase includes partial Israeli redeployment in Gaza and expanded humanitarian access, with further steps outlined but not yet settled.
