Confusion over start time of ceasefire as Israel agrees terms
26 August 2014 16:46 BST
Though Egypt was reported to have announced the ceasefire will begin at 21:00 GMT, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said in a televised address that it would start at 19:00 Palestinian time (16:00 GMT).
Israel has officially accepted the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire agreement, reports Haaretz correspondent Barak Ravid. Cabinet ministers have now been informed. Justice Minister Tzipi Livni had said earlier that she had no information about a possible deal.
