Israel's full cabinet of ministers met late into the night.

They are weighing the Gaza ceasefire agreement and hostage release deal after first getting approval from the Israeli security cabinet and hitting some last minute snags on Thursday, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far right coalition partners fiercely opposed it.

That was over disputes about whether the Israeli military would remain in the Philadelphia corridor along Gaza's border with Egypt, and which Palestinian prisoners Hamas wanted released from Israeli custody in exchange for hostages captured on October 7th.

Among those taken captive is ten native Idan Alexander, whose community has tried to keep awareness on Adan and the rest of the hostages throughout the crisis, holding walks every Friday morning in their honor.

Today, senior correspondent Brenda Flanagan was there.

News of a hostage deal being done.

So the biggest hope is for next week.

We have fewer posters with us in the walk.

Leader Roberto SIM rallied the group of walkers, marching with posters and placards draped in flags through downtown town.

Fly.

With a ceasefire apparently imminent.

Emotions ran high today as they carried images of hostages taken by Hamas in the October 7th attack 15 months ago.

We've been walking for a year and a half and they're still there, and we'll keep on walking until they're back.

We're feeling frustrated, but also hopeful.

It looks like a deal is about to happen and our people are about to be released.

And that is something to be happy and hopeful for.

Turn off large home to a large and vibrant Jewish population with strong ties to Israel.

Shirley Zaman often joins the walking group.

I'm the grandkid of Holocaust survivors.

They were in death camp for six years.

So if you can survive that, you have to be hopeful.

China flies where hostage Aidan Alexander grew up, graduated from high school, and then left to join the Israeli Defense Forces.

Zaman wears his photo.

She's known him since he attended grade school with her sons.

Everything and anything is possible.

So there's not even one single day that I don't think he's alive or that he's not coming out.

He is coming out.

He is alive.

I wish that would be in first round.

First phase.

Dan Alexander would not be among the first group of hostages released that will include women, children and older men.

Instead, he would join hostages released during phase two of the cease fire.

Two Americans are among the first group to be returned.

65 year old Keith Siegel and 36 year old Sangeeta Kal chan reportedly included.

Because he was wounded, his father remains deeply anxious about his condition.

I will feel joy.

I should when when Siggy is able to embrace his little girls, one of whom he has not met, and she was born two months after the massacre.

And Nero's and I simply do not know if Siggi even knows that his family survived.

Fractures have spread across the political landscape in Israel.

Cease fire supporters gathered in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square while angry protesters blocked roads.

Far right factions fear adopting a cease fire could compromise Israel's hard won military advantage and put hostages at risk.

5700 miles away in town of fly, some marchers said they also don't like the phased release.

I don't think it's wonderful that they're going to give us back or people like Sprinklings at a time, a few here, and then we have to wait another week and then another week, and it's going to take six weeks and just let them go.

The marchers belonged to a global organization of more than 200 groups called Run for Their Lives.

Today they held balloons, orange to match red headed Israeli hostage kafir Bush, who turns two in captivity tomorrow.

We want to make sure the world knows that this poor baby has not had a birthday yet.

He was in Gaza for his first birthday and now he's in Gaza for the second birthday.

Happy birthday, dear, dear.

They sang him happy birthday.

Hoped he would be among those released soon, and set the balloons free in time to fly.
