The temporary truce and hostage swap agreement between Hamas and Israel, which is set to expire on tomorrow morning, may be extended for another day or two, Israeli media said.
According to Anadolu Agency, a summit in Doha, attended by officials from Qatar, Egypt, Israel, and the US, discussed the possibility of extending the humanitarian pause, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported, citing a statement issued by Israeli authorities following the meeting yesterday.
However, the main obstacle is Hamas’s demand for a complete cessation of hostilities, which Israel opposes, according to the broadcaster.
Participants in the Doha meeting discussed a new agreement between Israel and Hamas under which all the hostages in Gaza, including soldiers, would be released, the broadcaster said.
On the other hand, Israel will release a significant number of prisoners and commit to a long-term pause, it added.
