Israel - Hamas War LIVE - Israel, Hamas to extend Gaza ceasefire
On Sunday, Hamas freed 17 hostages in Gaza, including a four-year-old American child. On the third day of their truce, israel released 39 Palestinian inmates. The international Committee of the red Cross assisted in the safe evacuation of captives from Gaza. The freed people include 13 Israelis, three Thais, and one Russian national, according to Hamas. A fourth exchange is expected on Monday, the final day of the ceasefire, when 50 hostages and 150 Palestinian inmates, largely women and youngsters, are expected to be released.
International mediators, led by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, are attempting to extend the truce that was established on Friday. In a dramatic turn, Hamas stated its determination to extend the agreement by releasing more hostages.
In a discussion with US President Joe Biden, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered to prolong the truce by one day for every ten prisoners freed by Hamas. He did, however, underline that israel would begin its onslaught aggressively if the agreement expired. Prior to the last release, Netanyahu, dressed in body armor, visited the Gaza Strip and spoke with troops. "By the end of the day, we'll have returned everyone." We will fight till the end, until triumph. Nothing will stand in our way."
According to Reuters, Israel's Mossad intelligence service is now hosting Qatari intelligence colleagues to discuss things connected to the release of Hamas captives and the larger features of the Gaza truce negotiated by Doha. According to an Israeli security official, Qatari intelligence agents came in israel on saturday for an indefinite stay, demonstrating the agencies' historically tight collaboration despite the lack of formal connections between the two nations.
