On Saturday, Egypt conveyed encouraging signs from all involved parties regarding the potential extension of the Gaza truce by one or two days. Diaa Rashwan, the head of Egypt’s State Information Service (SIS), issued a statement revealing that the nation is deeply engaged in expansive discussions with all stakeholders. The objective is to forge an agreement that goes beyond the existing four-day truce, paving the way for the release of additional detainees in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. This diplomatic endeavor reflects the intricate negotiations and delicate dynamics characterizing the pursuit of a prolonged cessation of hostilities in the region.
