Hamas expressed its intent to prolong a four-day truce with Israel, having released 17 more hostages, including a 4-year-old Israeli-American girl. The Palestinian group conditions the extension on Israel's commitment to freeing additional Palestinian prisoners. Notably, US President Joe Biden affirmed relentless efforts to secure the release of every hostage. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Biden agreed to continue collaborative efforts for the hostages' release. Netanyahu indicated willingness to extend it for the daily release of ten hostages, as per the original Qatari-brokered deal. Mossad officials met with Qatari counterparts to explore options for extending the truce. The total released captives now stand at 58, with discussions ongoing amid regional complexities.
