Hamas has signalled it is seeking a new truce deal with Israel which could include the release of male hostages and soldiers in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
“We hope the Occupation (Israel) abides (by the agreement) in the next two days because we are seeking a new agreement, besides women and children, whereby other categories that we have that we can swap,” Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas official, told Al Jazeera.
The remarks came as Israel expanded the roster of Palestinian detainees it could release in exchange for hostages - another signal that a revision of truce terms was being considered.
Under the Qatari- and Egyptian-mediated deal clinched last week, Hamas has freed 50 Israeli women and children hostages in return for 150 Palestinian detainees released by Israel, with an option of doubling those numbers if the truce is extended by five days.
On Monday, Israel and Hamas agreed a 48-hour extension to the initial four-day agreement, with 10 hostages expected to be released today.
