Israel agrees to 4-hour daily pauses in fighting to allow civilians in Gaza to safely flee south

The White House said Wednesday that Israel has agreed to have daily, 4-hour humanitarian pauses in fighting in areas of northern Gaza in order to allow civilians to move to safer areas in the south. These pauses would allow for much-needed aid to be distributed around Gaza, as well as possibly allow hostages to be safely released.
