Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA chief, has said “operationally nothing has changed” in southern Gaza, where Israel’s military said it would observe daily pauses in fighting along a key aid corridor.
The military had said it would implement “pauses” during daylight hours from the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) land crossing to the Salah a-Din highway, a main north-south road.
However, Prime Minister Netanyahu appeared taken aback by the military plans, announced yesterday, calling them “unacceptable”.
