announcer: this is cnn breaking news. today on inside politics, a major development out of the middle east. qatar just announced an agreement to extend the israel/hamas truce for another two days. we re still waiting to hear from the israeli government. it is also unclear when the hostages who were expected to be released today will make it out of gaza. so far, 58 hostages have been freed. that includes 40 israelis, some of whom are dual nationals, 17 thai citizens, and one citizen from the philippines. cnn is all over the region covering this fast-moving story, including my colleague wolf blitzer who is in tel aviv. i am so glad that you re joining us for the hour here. this agreement is a very big deal. it certainly is. another two days, that means that more hostages will be released, allowed to leave gaza, go through egypt, presumably, and show up in israel. for israel, that s important news. for hamas, it s an additional two days where there won t be any fresh air
