Ceasefire Both sides have good reasons to end pause
The Guardian|November 25, 2023
Diplomats hope to announce plans to extend the four-day ceasefire well before it ends, but have to persuade the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that he is not being lured into a trap that will extend Hamas's rule in Gaza.

Ceasefire Both sides have good reasons to end pause

Lists of Hamas-held hostages have been drawn up going beyond the 50 captives expected to be released over the next four days. But those involved in the talks acknowledge the difficulties, including the likelihood that Hamas may seek the release of a proportionally higher number of Palestinians than the one-for-three ratio agreed for the first tranche of hostages. There are as many as 7,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, including some serving multiple life sentences for murder.

As many as 10 days could be set aside for a rolling pause, but Qatar - which negotiated the deal - has not set a cap. Netanyahu and his defence team said Israel's military was already preparing for the restart of hostilities.
