Israel has added 50 names to a list of Palestinian prisoners who may be released as part of its ongoing swap with Hamas for hostages held in Gaza. The additions are all female, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said. A four-day pause in fighting to facilitate the exchange of captives has been extended by two days, with the possibility of further extensions. Eleven hostages were released Monday in exchange for 33 prisoners, according to Qatari officials and the Red Cross, which said it returned some detainees to the West Bank about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby had expressed hope that two more American hostages would be released that day, “and if not today, certainly over the next couple of days.” Since Friday, 150 Palestinians, 51 Israelis and 18 foreign nationals have been released, the U.N. said, including one American, 4-year-old Abigail Edan. About eight Americans remain in Hamas’s hands, according to Kirby.

Elon Musk met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel on Monday. The billionaire’s visit comes as he faces criticism for loosening content moderation and amplifying antisemitic tropes on X, formerly Twitter. Earlier, Israel’s communications minister said that Musk agreed to operate Starlink satellites in Gaza but only with Israel’s approval.
“Dozens” of aid trucks reached north Gaza on Monday, the U.N. humanitarian affairs office said, after more than a month of the Strip’s north remaining largely inaccessible to relief agencies before the pause, creating a “dire humanitarian situation,” it said.
More than 13,300 people have been killed in Gaza and 35,180 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Thousands of people are missing or stuck under rubble after nearly two months of war, according to the ministry. At least 1,200 people were killed in Israel during the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
