BREAKING OVERNIGHT:
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a deal to return hostages held in the Gaza Strip has been reached.
The announcement Friday came a day after Netanyahu’s office said there were last minute snags in talks to free hostages in return for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners.
Netanyahu said he will convene his security Cabinet later Friday and then the government to approve the agreement.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office, a U.S. official says.
That leaves TikTok's fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.
Congress last year in a law signed by Biden required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19.
Trump, who once called to ban the app, has since pledged to keep it available in the U.S., though his transition team has not said how they intend to accomplish that.
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend Trump’s inauguration.
