According to the Saudi Al Arabiya channel, an agreement has been reached on a temporary truce between Hamas and Israel during the month of Ramadan, which ends on March 29.
The outlet is light on details and only cites “sources,’ and does not say how many hostages Hamas has to release as part of the ostensible ceasefire extension.
An Israeli official later tells Hebrew media outlets that no such agreement has been made.
