WHEN DOES THE DEAL START?
Speaking early on Wednesday, the Qatari negotiator said the timing for the start of the truce would be announced within 24 hours.
Israel delayed the start to give time for its Supreme Court to hear a challenge to the deal raised by those who say a truce was too much of a concession to Hamas. A court ruling is not expected to derail the deal.
An Egyptian source said the truce could start as early as 10 a.m. (0800 GMT) on Thursday.
A U.S. official said the group had said it needed a pause “to locate and determine where people are”
Not part of the deal.
