Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari indicated today, Tuesday, that "Doha is focusing on extending the ceasefire between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel beyond this Wednesday, depending on Hamas's ability to continue releasing 10 hostages daily." During a press conference, Al-Ansari stated: "Qatar cannot verify the number of remaining hostages after the twenty that Hamas will release today and tomorrow, which are two days added to the ceasefire that was initially scheduled to last four days."
