0:52Now PlayingIsrael and Hamas agreed to extend a cease-fire, which was initially due to end Tuesday morning, in their devastating war following tense negotiations over the release of more hostages held by the militant group in Gaza.
The two sides will halt fighting for another two days, Qatar’s foreign ministry said on X, while Hamas said in a statement that a deal was reached to “extend the temporary humanitarian ceasefire for an additional two days, under the same conditions as the previous ceasefire.” Israel’s foreign ministry hasn’t confirmed the agreement.
The current halt began last Friday after intense negotiations brokered by Qatar, with the help of Egypt and the US. It was the first since the conflict erupted in early October when Hamas attacked Israel, which retaliated by bombing Gaza and reducing much of it to rubble.
Under that deal, Israel allowed more aid into Gaza and was set to release around 150 Palestinians from jail. Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the US and European Union, has so far freed more than 50 hostages, including foreigners.
