U.S. Pushing War Pauses
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken aims to build support for humanitarian pauses in the fighting in Gaza during his second trip to the Middle East since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, U.S. officials told the Times of Israel on Thursday. The Biden administration is pitching "temporary and localized" humanitarian pauses to increase the flow of aid in the Strip, a U.S. official said. Israel has yet to embrace the idea of humanitarian pauses, convinced that Hamas will only buckle if squeezed sufficiently by the IDF's intensifying ground invasion.
