Israel wants to extend first phase of Gaza truce by six weeks, sources say

Two Egyptian security sources said on Friday that the Israeli delegation in Cairo was trying to reach a deal to extend the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal for an additional 42 days, Reuters reported.

Hamas disagrees with the plan to extend and wants to proceed with the second phase as agreed, the sources told Reuters.
