a member of the israeli knesset likud party, boaz bismuth, spoke to my colleague ben thompson a littlean only say we expected the extension of the pause, if you want. as a matter of fact, this is something that hamas really needs, hamas nowadays, the only thing right now that they can have or offer is of the psychological war they are holding against us due to the hostages. and they need the pause in order to recoverfrom the war itself and the way the israeli army has done. on one hand of course you would like to finish the job and eliminate hamas and it takes more time. on the other hand, of course, hostages are there and it is, yes, it is a priority because we would like our children, our women, our grandmothers to be back with us, also our soldiers, our men back to us. of course israel says yes, this is what the israeli population and society is being demanded right now by israel itself... this is what has been discussed at length. the days extension for every ten additional hostages release from gaza so one would assume more hostages would be released as part of this truth, this pa

joining us now is boaz, whose cousins are presumed to be held by hamas, after their home was burned to the ground. thank you for coming on. i'm sure you are feeling so much emotion right now. what are your thoughts, how are you feeling about this deal and are you concerned that he could come back and not leave? >> it's really a lot of emotions, like what we know from the deal, it seems that men are not included in it, so my cousin is likely to not be released tonight or in the first wave. if liam will be released, that would be great but we don't know that. we don't know the names, we didn't get a list of names or anything, as far as i know the israeli government doesn't know the name either. so, we are really hoping that, you know, every, every hostage release is really good news for the family, in particular, the children. i met last week with the family of abigail, the little girl it was heart wrenching they can go back, hoping, that is a great start, we want everybody to come back. >> has the idf or any official been in contact with you or your family? >> at least, as of a few minu
