The Israel-Hamas truce is set to continue as the two sides work on releasing more people, according to statements from Qatar's foreign ministry, Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces.
The current cease-fire started Friday and was extended by two days. The extension announcement came as the pause was set to expire.
Elsewhere, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ramped up criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he has dubbed the "butcher of Gaza," amid ongoing objections to the Israeli incursion in the enclave.
"Netanyahu, who committed one of the greatest atrocities of the last century in Gaza, has already written his name in history as the 'butcher of Gaza,'" Erdogan said, in CNBC-translated comments reported by Turkish state agency Anadolu.
