A source close to Hamas says the terror group is willing to extend the current truce with Israel in Gaza for two to four days beyond its initial expiry tomorrow.
“Hamas informed the mediators that the resistance movements were willing to extend the current truce by two to four days. The resistance believes it is possible to ensure the release of 20 to 40 Israeli prisoners,” the source tells AFP, referring to the innocent Israeli hostages seized in the October 7 attacks.
As part of the deal, Israel has agreed to release three Palestinian security prisoners for every Israeli hostage released, with an additional 10 hostages released every additional day of truce, up to 10 total days.
