Welcome to the beat. I'm Katie Fang in for Ari Melber. It's a busy night. So coming up, I've got Neil

Cattial and Melissa Murray on Donald Trump's packed courtroom schedule, including his next testimony date, Trump can expect to get grilled

while on the stand again. But we're going to start tonight's show in the Middle East.

A series of potentially pivotal developments today. Hamas releasing 11 more

hostages, all women and children. In exchange, Israel releasing 33 Palestinian prisoners.

This is the newest video of hostages being released by Hamas into Red Cross custody.

They're inside Israeli territory right now.

This all happening just within the last few hours.

The other big development today, Hamas and Israel agreed to extend the pause in

fighting for two more days. The pause was originally scheduled for four days only. Now it will be six. The Pentagon says Hamas will

release 20 more women and children over those two days. Officials cautioned though the details are still being hammered

out and the fragile deal could still fall apart. Biden officials say they hope

the pause can be extended even further as long as Hamas continues to release hostages.

Now in order to extend the pause Hamas has committed to releasing another 20 women and children

over the next two days. We would of course hope to see

the pause extended further and that will depend upon Hamas continuing to

release hostages. The White House says it believes that fewer than 10 Americans are being held captive in

Gaza, although at this time it isn't known which group is holding them hostage.

200 more aid trucks are expected to enter Gaza

and more will be allowed in over the next two days if conditions hold.

Families are now being reunited after being apart for 51 days, while others still wait anxiously

for some news, any news of the fate of their loved ones.
