Israel has agreed to a temporary ceasefire extension proposal from President Donald Trump's envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, for the period around the Muslim Ramadan and Jewish Passover. The extension was agreed to after they realized more time was needed to figure out a permanent ceasefire solution. Under the extension proposal, half of the hostages and the remains of dead hostages still in Gaza will be released, with the remaining released once a permanent ceasefire is established. If a new ceasefire deal is not agreed to, fighting is set to resume on Sunday.
