The Israeli government has yet to formally sign off on the truce, and the discussions around it remained fluid. It could be discussed by Israel’s high-level security cabinet when it meets on Wednesday night, one of the officials said.
Two of the Israeli officials said the cease-fire could begin as early as Thursday and last about a week.
