Gaza Humanitarian Pause Deal

   Source: Al Jazeera Nov 22, 2023 No Comments


Qatar confirms that Hamas and Israel have agreed on a humanitarian pause in Gaza after weeks of negotiations mediated alongside the US and Egypt.

The Israeli government approved the deal after a lengthy cabinet meeting and deep internal divisions among ministers.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says agreement does not mean the war will stop.

As part of the deal, 50 women and children captives held in Gaza will be released in exchange for some Palestinian women and children being freed from Israeli prisons.

The humanitarian pause will also allow the entry of a larger number of aid convoys, including fuel for humanitarian needs.
