TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The spokesman for Qatar’s Foreign Ministry says an agreement has been reached to extend the Israel-Hamas truce for another two days. The announcement came on the final day of an original four-day truce between the warring sides. A fourth exchange of militant-held hostages for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel is planned for later in the day. Israel has said it would extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 additional hostages released. The cease-fire came into effect Friday after several weeks of indirect negotiations mediated by the United States, Qatar and Egypt.
