Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend the ongoing truce for another two days, which will allow the release of 20 additional hostages, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al Ansary wrote in a post on X Monday.

The announcement came on the last day of the agreed upon four-day cease-fire which emerged out of a deal that led to the release of 50 Israeli hostages in exchange for 150 Palestinian security prisoners. So far, Israel has released 117 prisoners and has allowed humanitarian aid to reach Gaza as part of the agreement. Hamas, for its part, has returned 58 hostages in total, with 39 being Israeli citizens. Before the temporary truce, the terrorist organization had released four hostages, with one more rescued and two found dead inside Gaza.

An estimated 175 people remain in Hamas captivity.
