Hamas agrees to free some living hostages for extension of ceasefire's first phase -- report

Hamas has agreed to release some living hostages in exchange for a two-month extension to the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza, the Saudi Al Hadath network reports.

According to unnamed sources, progress in recent negotiations in Cairo led to Israel’s decision to send a negotiating team to Qatar on Monday, which was announced by the Prime Minister’s Office this evening.
