| The U.S. is on the wrong side of this. |
Do not trust Israel when it comes to negotiations. They never listen to the United States when it comes to engagement. This will only end with betrayal and nonstop air strikes.
Trust me, Israel likely carpet bombed everyone and will make up claims that Hamas killed them or did something heinous.
The U.S. and Qatar had negotiated this.
Qatar warned of dire consequences if Israel continues on this path to destruction.
Since President Joe Biden and most of Congress refuse calls for a ceasefire, American lawmakers agree on a pause.
Israeli officials agreed Thursday to pause fighting in Northern Gaza for four hours a day to allow for civilians to leave as fighting in the war with Hamas continues, White House officials said.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby announced the decision to reporters on Thursday morning. He said Israel plans to announce each of the pauses at least three hours in advance, The Associated Press reported.
“We’ve been told by the Israelis that there will be no military operations in these areas over the duration of the pause and that this process is starting today,” he said, according to CNN. He called the pauses “steps in the right direction.”
Joe Biden said Thursday that he has been pushing for a three-day pause in fighting to help secure the release of hostages being held by Hamas.
“I’ve asked for a pause longer than three days,” he told reporters.
In a post on social media, Israel Defense Forces highlighted that the announced pauses do not amount to a ceasefire.
“There are tactical, long pauses for humanitarian aid for Gazan civilians,” military officials said. “These tactical pauses are limited in time and area.”
