Israel Implements Daily 4-Hour Pauses in Gaza Fighting, Allowing Aid and Civilians to Flow

Israel will implement four-hour pauses in military operations in Northern Gaza each day to allow for humanitarian assistance and the safe movement of civilians. The decision came after engagement between the US administration and Israeli officials, including President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The pauses aim to minimize civilian casualties and provide safe passage for hostages held by Hamas. The US hopes the daily pauses will continue as long as humanitarian assistance is needed.
