The Biden administration says it has secured a second pathway for civilians to flee fighting. President Joe Biden had asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to institute the daily pauses during a Monday call.
U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that the first humanitarian pause would be announced Thursday and that the Israelis had committed to announcing each four-hour window at least three hours in advance.
Kirby said Israel had also agreed to open a second corridor for civilians to flee northern Gaza — along the territory’s coastal road — joining the first that has been in place along its main north-south highway.
Who’s monitoring these people? They could move hostages like this. The idf cannot and should not get up close to these “innocent” migrants, they could be strapped with explosives. On the other hand the animals could be moving their fighters dressed as Arab women covered from head to toe along with child and infant hostages pretending that they are mother and child. These animals are sick and nothing is beneath them.
Why won’t Hamas fighters just leave with everyone else to the south? Why won’t they exploit the situation and attack?
