Israel has agreed to daily 4-hour pauses in its attacks on Northern Gaza to allow civilians to leave the area. This comes after days of pressure from President Biden amid mounting casualties. From AP News:
Biden had asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to institute the daily pauses during a Monday call and said he had also asked the Israelis for a pause of at least three days to allow for hostage negotiations.
“Yes,” Biden said, when asked whether he had asked Israel for a three-day pause. “I’ve asked for even a longer pause for some of them.” He added there was “no possibility” of a formal cease-fire at the moment, and said it had “taken a little longer” than he hoped for Israel to agree to the humanitarian pauses.
The White House also announced a second corridor for evacuations would be opened along a coastal road. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear in multiple press statements that his country will not agree to a ceasefire in its conflict with Hamas. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1722740683050484082
