TEL AVIV, Israel — Hamas says it wants to extend a temporary cease-fire with Israel in Gaza in hopes of securing the release of more Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages it seized in its Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a video posted after the Hamas statement came out, said he was open to an extension of the cease-fire if Hamas freed 10 hostages per day. Previously, Israel has said it could extend the deal for up to 10 days.
