Israel says it has formally signed a ceasefire deal for the war in Gaza after last minute disputes.

The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says his security cabinet and then the government will now meet to ratify the agreement.

It's due to come into effect on Sunday, involving the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners.

To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Professor of Politics at DCU, Donnacha Ó Beacháin, and former Clare footballer who is behind Clare Gaels for Gaza, Gordon Kelly.
