The hours-long meeting went well past the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath, when the Israeli government usually halts all business.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu\u2019s office had earlier said implementation of the deal and the release of hostages would begin on Sunday if both the security cabinet and the government approved it. <\/p>\n<p>While the Israeli government had previously accused Hamas of backtracking on the agreement, the prime minister\u2019s office on Thursday night said Netanyahu had been \u201cupdated by the negotiating team that agreements have been reached on a deal for the release of the hostages\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu is also trying to manage a brewing political crisis at home, with far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Thursday night announcing he and his Jewish Power party would leave the ruling coalition if the \u201creckless\u201d deal were approved.<\/p>\n<p>Ben-Gvir and his ultranationalist ally, finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, had repeatedly threatened to leave Netanyahu\u2019s government if it accepted an agreement that would end the war.<\/p>\n<p>The departure of Jewish Power would leave the coalition with a two-seat majority in Israel\u2019s parliament. It would also pile pressure on Smotrich\u2019s Religious Zionism party to follow suit and withdraw, although prospects appear to be growing that they will remain in government during the deal\u2019s initial six-week stage.<\/p>\n<p>Ben-Gvir and Smotrich do not have enough support inside the government to torpedo the deal itself, although if they both pull their far-right parties out of the government, the coalition would lose its parliamentary majority.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s political system does not bar minority governments, and opposition parties have said they are prepared to prop up Netanyahu\u2019s coalition if needed, but the loss of his two allies would shake the prime minister\u2019s hold on power and could lead to early elections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c6f62a56-7255-4938-827e-e5c36d625c3a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
