00:05 November 27, as both sides release a total of 117 Palestinian prisoners and some 40 hostages.
00:13 This includes one Filipino, Jimmy Pacheco, who was among the first group released by
00:17 Hamas.
00:18 The Israel Embassy in Manila says Pacheco is now in the custody of Israel Embassy officials.
00:23 U.S. President Joe Biden, meantime, says he hopes the temporary truce between Israel and

00:32 Hamas says it wants to extend the pause in fighting if it means an increase in the number
00:35 of Palestinian detainees released by Israel.
00:39 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he would welcome extending the temporary
00:43 truce if 10 captives would be released daily.
