This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel has agreed to daily, four-hour humanitarian pauses in the fighting in northern Gaza, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed Thursday morning.
An Israeli official also confirmed the four-hour daily pauses, saying the reprieves are meant to allow people to move to the south of Gaza and obtain food and medicine.
"Israel is allowing safe passage through humanitarian corridors from the northern Gaza Strip to the south, which 50,000 Gazans utilized just yesterday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said he might be open to “little pauses” in the fighting for humanitarian reasons, but as his office indicated, he has dismissed the idea of a ceasefire.
President Biden told reporters Thursday morning that he has asked Netanyahu for a pause even longer than three days for hostage negotiations.
CIA Director William Burns and Mossad Director David Barnea are both visiting Doha, Qatar, for trilateral talks with the Qataris to work through the details of a potential humanitarian pause that would entail the release of hostages and the entry of more aid into Gaza, according to an official with knowledge of the visit.
