Israel, Hamas agree to extend truce for two days
The truce between Israel and Hamas has been extended by two days, indicating that mediation channels through Egypt and Qatar, with support from the US, are effective in maintaining peace.
Both Israel and Hamas have agreed to the extension, with Israel hoping to bring more hostages back and Hamas needing time to regroup after intense bombardment and military operations.
Despite positive developments, the continuation of fighting remains likely, as it would require significant diplomatic efforts to change Israel's course.
Dozens of countries gathered together are calling for an extension of the pause in fighting. Spain and Israel continue to have relations blurred by the words of Pedro Sánchez in Tel Aviv and the reaction of the Netanyahu government
