A truce between Israel and Hamas has entered its final hours with mediators racing to reach an agreement on another extension after a final exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, AFP reports.

“The movement would be able to release Israeli prisoners that it, other resistance movements, and other parties, hold during this period, according to the terms of the existing truce,” a source from the group said.

“What is being proposed in the discussions to extend the truce is not the best,” the source told AFP.

Israel’s war cabinet was meeting late on Wednesday over the possible extension, media reports said.
