According to the army radio correspondent, a detailed, though flexible, schedule has been set for the coming days:
12:00 PM: The agreement officially comes into effect, noting that full implementation will occur in stages.
5:00 PM: Cabinet meeting begins to discuss the implications and details of the agreement.
6:00 PM: Expanded government session to approve the agreement, including the clause regarding the release of prisoners.
6:00 PM: Expected press conference by US President Donald Trump, likely to include questions from journalists.
8:00 PM: Expected final government approval of the agreement, though the meeting may extend longer.
Following government approval, two parallel timeframes will commence:
24 hours: Designated for the 'Israeli' army to withdraw to the so-called "Yellow Line," along with necessary logistical adjustments on the ground.
72 hours: During this period, not just at its end, the gradual release of prisoners will begin.
These procedures coincide with the arrival of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner tonight or tomorrow morning, as well as President Trump’s planned visit on Sunday, which will include a speech at the Knesset.
