"Qatari Mediators Secure Release of 12 Hostages as Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Continues"

Hamas has handed over a fifth group of Israeli and foreign hostages, with negotiators now working to extend the ongoing ceasefire set to expire later today. The exchange of hostages and prisoners came as both sides accused each other of violating the ceasefire. One more set of hostages is expected to be released by Hamas today. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains resolute in his intention to crush Hamas once the peace deal ends. Negotiators are calling on both sides to extend the pause further, with international calls for a prolonged ceasefire mounting.
