Katie Couric Instagram – 🚨 Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their truce for two more days, according to officials in Qatar who helped negotiate the initial cease-fire, as Israeli officials signaled that a fourth exchange of hostages and prisoners would go forward Monday. According to @nytimes reporting, Majed Al-Ansari, a spokesman for the foreign ministry of Qatar, which has helped mediate the talks that led to the initial pause in fighting, said an “agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian truce for an additional two days in the Gaza Strip.” It did not elaborate on the terms. The announcement came shortly after the Israeli prime minister’s office said it had begun contacting the families of hostages who would be released on Monday, appearing to resolve a disagreement over the lists of those to be freed on what had been expected to be the final day of a four-day cease-fire. Under the initial deal, Hamas agreed to release 50 women and children taken hostage during the Oct. 7 attack, and Israel agreed to free 150 women and minors held in Israeli jails, among other terms. This is a developing story with updates to come.
