1 December 2023 at 03:52 The ceasefire is extended Israel and the Islamist movement Hamas have agreed to extend the ceasefire by one more day, the Wall Street Journal reports. Thus, the ceasefire will have lasted for eight days. The newspaper quotes Egyptian officials on the information on the night of Friday. At that time, just over two hours remained before the current ceasefire was due to expire. The one-day extension means that the ceasefire will be extended until Saturday morning. Then it will have lasted for eight days. Israel and Hamas have so far not commented on the new extension. The temporary ceasefire came into effect last Friday and has opened the way for humanitarian aid to the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, and the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas and Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.
