A top aid to Egyptian President Diaa Rashwan announces that Cairo and Doha are very close to securing a two-day extension to the ongoing truce between Israel and Hamas.
The truce extension would see 10 Israeli hostages and 30 Palestinian prisoners released both tomorrow and Wednesday, Diaa Rashwan says, adding that 11 Israeli hostages will also be released later today.
