Israeli’s ‘optimistic’ that children, mothers held by Hamas will be released on Monday

Israeli’s are “optimistic” that more hostages being held by Hamas will be released on Monday, and that the four-day truce between Israel-and Hamas will be extended beyond its original deadline, said FRANCE 24 correspondent, Jordana Miller, reporting from Jerusalem. Although dozens of hostages have been released by Hamas since the ceasefire began on Friday, around 170 people are still being held captive by the Palestinian militant group including many children.
