Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would consider "tactical little pauses" in the Gaza conflict to allow aid or hostage exits, refusing a general ceasefire despite international pressure. Netanyahu emphasized that a ceasefire would hinder Israel's war efforts. The conflict, ongoing since October 7, has led to over 10,022 Palestinian casualties, with urgent calls for a humanitarian ceasefire. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of Gaza becoming a "graveyard for children." The U.S. supports pauses for aid but shares concerns about Hamas regrouping in a full ceasefire.
