Good evening. I'm Jeff Bennett and I'm Amna Navaz on the news hour tonight.

Israel and Hamas release more people held in a sixth day of exchanges while

negotiators work to extend the pause in fighting.

Congress wrangles over funding for Israel, Ukraine, and the southern border

with a rapidly closing window to work out a deal.

And Bangkok, Thailand and other Southeast Asian cities face an existential crisis as they sink into the ocean.

We grew like rapidly without even thinking about

pause in fighting.

The current temporary ceasefire ends early tomorrow.

Israel says it's willing to continue this ceasefire if Hamas keeps releasing hostages.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also reaffirmed today his commitment to continue the war

fighting until the end.

In the meantime, Hamas released 10 more Israeli hostages, including one with American

citizenship.

President Biden confirmed she is now safe in Egypt.

Hamas also freed two Russians and four Thai nationals who were driven

into Egypt. Israel was also releasing 30 Palestinians from jail including 16 minors and 14 women.
