TL;DR Summary

The truce between Israel and Hamas is entering its final 24 hours, with Hamas expressing willingness to extend the pause after releasing more hostages, including a four-year-old orphaned by their attack. The truce has seen dozens of hostages freed, with over 100 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel in return. US President Joe Biden hopes to extend the ceasefire as long as hostages continue to be released. Israel faces pressure to extend the truce to secure more releases, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would welcome an extension if it meant 10 captives would be freed each additional day.
