The Biden administration has reportedly been caught off guard by news that Israel intends to push back the implementation of the hostage agreement by one day.

According to Channel 12, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu plans to hold the cabinet meeting to vote on the deal’s approval on Motzoei Shabbos, rather than the originally scheduled day. The report explained that there would not be sufficient time to conduct both the security cabinet vote and the full cabinet vote before Shabbos on Friday, resulting in a delay for the latter until Motzoei Shabbos.

Following this, the government must allow 24 hours for petitions to the High Court of Justice regarding the deal before proceeding with its execution.

Channel 12 also reported that the White House is furious over the delay, expressing concern that the additional day could create further challenges for implementing the deal.
