Israel-Hamas agree to extend Gaza truce for seventh day
Gaza, The Gulf Observer: Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend the truce in Gaza for a seventh day.
Israel’s military also said that the truce will continue “in light of the mediators’ efforts to continue the process of releasing hostages, and subject to the terms of the agreement.”
Mediator Qatar confirmed that Israel and Hamas agreed to another day of temporary truce, which was set to end Thursday morning. The announcement came hours after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel on Wednesday night, and with growing pressure for an extension of the pause.
The truce agreement has brought a temporary halt to fighting that began on October 7 when Hamas fighters broke through Gaza’s militarised border into Israel.
