The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with significant impacts on both sides. According to multiple sources, Israel has agreed to implement daily four-hour pauses in its assault on Hamas in northern Gaza to allow civilians to evacuate. This information was confirmed by the White House and reported by The New York Times and CNN. These pauses are also intended to allow for the delivery of humanitarian supplies and possibly facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted there would be no ceasefire without the release of these hostages, as reported by CNN. On the other hand, President Joe Biden has expressed his desire for significantly longer pauses in the violence.
