Hamas says it's willing to extend ceasefire by releasing more hostages
2023-11-27
[DM] Hamas has declared it wants to see a four-day ceasefire between its fighters and Israel's Defense Forces extended beyond today's deadline to negotiate the release of more hostages from Gaza in return for Palestinian prisoners. A statement released last night by Hamas called for 'an extension of the truce after the conclusion of the four-day period, through serious efforts to increase the number of those released from captivity as stipulated in the humanitarian ceasefire agreement.'

#7  Some elements of Hamas are probably able to rearm or at least recuperate.

However, those elements that are surrounded in Gaza City and elsewhere are not going to get much.

During the pause, the IDF is gaining more intel also.

So it is not necessarily a military setback.

#6  Israel is basically trading the hostages' lives for those of its soldiers.

#2  I believe the Arabic term is "hudna". A chance to regroup and rearm.
