Source close to Hamas says group willing to extend truce

A source close to Hamas said on Sunday that the group was willing to extend the current truce with Israel in Gaza for two to four days beyond its initial expiry on Monday. 

"Hamas informed the mediators that the resistance movements were willing to extend the current truce by two to four days. The resistance believes it is possible to ensure the release of 20 to 40 Israeli prisoners," the source told AFP, referring to hostages seized in the 7 October attacks.
