Truce extensions details emerge, 20 more Israelis in exchange for 60 Palestinians

In an interview with Al Jazeera, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar, Majed al-Ansari, said that the original deal allowed for a one-day extension of the truce for every additional 10 Israelis released.

“We have from Hamas a confirmation now that 20 extra hostages will be released in the next two days,” the Qatari foreign ministry spokesman said.

“On the Palestinian side, that would mean that … 60 Palestinians will be released from Israeli prisons,” he added.
