BBC World Service - Newsday, Israel-Gaza: Calls to extend truce as captives released

Hamas says it is seeking to extend the current four-day humanitarian pause.

There are reports of Israel offering a further day of paused hostilities for every 10 captives released.

As the temporary ceasefire in Gaza enters its fourth and final scheduled day, with more Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners due for release, there are some indications the truce might be extended.

Sunday saw the release by Hamas of 14 Israeli and three Thai hostages, while 39 Palestinian prisoners were freed in return.

And New Zealand's new centre-right government has been sworn in at a ceremony in Wellington.
