The Israeli military announced on Sunday a daily pause of its operations in parts of Gaza and the establishment of new aid corridors, after months of international pressure over a worsening hunger crisis spreading in the Palestinian enclave.

President Isaac Herzog issued his support for the plan, saying that he had received inquiries from leaders and figures worldwide on the matter of Gaza aid. Israeli officials and leaders reacted to the political echelon's and the IDF's decision to allow for localized humanitarian pauses in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

The announcement of a 10-hour daily suspension follows growing pressure on Israel as a deadly hunger crisis spreads across the enclave.
