The Qatari newspaper Al-Arabi Al-Jadid reported Tuesday evening, citing Egyptian sources, that "an initial understanding has been reached on extending the hudna, which was reached between Hamas and the Israeli army, mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States, for two more days under the same conditions." One of the sources said that Hamas noted that there were contacts between groups in the Gaza Strip holding abductees who met the conditions for the truce agreement, referring to abducted women and children.

Regarding the violation of the ceasefire in the northern Gaza Strip, the source said, "The violations and friction that took place on Tuesday were part of attempts by the sides to improve the terms of the negotiations. Especially in the shadow of Hamas' comments about preventing aid from entering the northern Gaza Strip." According to the source, Egypt, Qatar and the other mediators are making ongoing efforts to force the aid to enter the northern Gaza Strip, as well as to operate several departments at Shifa Hospital.
Earlier, Egypt reported that intelligence chief Abbas Kamel was visiting Doha for discussions with senior officials from the United States, Israel and Qatar. In this context, the source told Al-Arabi Al-Jadid that "the discussions may go beyond hudna, to talk about reaching a comprehensive agreement with several stages. An agreement stipulating that the war will cease and a complete ceasefire will be declared before the end of the temporary hudna."
