The Guardian: Gaza ceasefire to begin on Friday morning with hostage releases to follow 

Negotiators work out final details of four-day truce between Israel and Hamas after seven weeks of conflict 

A four-day ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas will begin on Friday morning, a day later than originally announced, after negotiators worked out final details of the deal, which will lead to the release of dozens of hostages held by militants as well as Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
