The agreement between Israel and Hamas, which provides for the exchange of 50 Hamas hostages for 150 Palestinian prisoners during a four-day truce, could be extended. The Palestinian movement is said to have “informed the Qatari and Egyptian mediators” that the armed groups holding Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip had “agreed to extend the current truce from two to four days”. US President Joe Biden said yesterday he hoped that the truce, which is due to end on Monday, could continue.Israel affirmed that beyond the first four days, the release of “ten additional hostages will lead to an additional day of pause” in its offensive in the Gaza Strip.
