Hey Amigos! It's Day 56 of the Palestine-Israel conflict, and there's a glimmer of hope in the region. 🤞
On Wednesday, more hostages were released, bringing relief to families who've been waiting anxiously. The temporary truce between Hamas and Israel has been extended for a seventh day! 🙌 According to the Hamas-affiliated Shehab News Agency, both sides agreed to keep the peace going.
The Israeli military confirmed on Thursday that the truce will continue \"in light of the mediators' efforts to continue the process of releasing hostages and subject to the terms of the agreement.\" The deal was set to expire at 0500 GMT, but thanks to ongoing negotiations, the ceasefire holds. 🕊️
But that's not all! U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken touched down in Tel Aviv early Thursday. He's there to chat with Israeli leaders about the truce with Hamas and getting humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. 🚑❤️
It's a crucial time, and the world is watching. Let's hope this extension leads to lasting peace and that more families are reunited. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌍✌️
