The White House announced that Israel has agreed to implement four-hour daily humanitarian pauses in its fighting against Hamas in northern Gaza. The temporary ceasefires will allow civilians to evacuate the conflict zone. President Biden had requested the pauses during a call with Israeli PM Netanyahu earlier this week. The first four-hour pause will occur on Thursday, with Israel committing to announce each window at least three hours in advance. The temporary daily ceasefires mark the second pathway secured by the Biden administration for Gazan civilians to escape the violence.
