This comes after yesterday Hamas published a statement saying they were seeking to extended it in order to secure the release of more Palestinian prisoners, and in turn release more hostages. Hamas’ statement today reads in full:
“Press Statement
Hamas declares that it has agreed with Qatar and Egypt to extend the temporary humanitarian truce for an additional two days under the same conditions reached before.
Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas
Nov 27, 2023”.
Israel has yet to comment on the ceasefire extension.
