G7 Presses for Pauses in Gaza Fighting Without Demanding Ceasefire

The G7 group of nations – including the UK and US – call for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting in Gaza

Such pauses would allow more aid into Gaza, and would allow more civilians to leave

Pauses are not the same as a ceasefire – which Israel has ruled out while Hamas holds Israeli hostages in Gaza

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also insists there should be no Israeli reoccupation of Gaza after the war

Hamas-run authorities say homes were bombed in Gaza City overnight, with deaths reported

The Israeli military says it kills a Hamas weapons leader and “continues to operate deep in the Gaza Strip”

Israel launched its operation after the Hamas attacks on 7 October, which saw 1,400 people killed and more than 200 taken hostage

More than 10,300 people have been killed in Gaza according to the Hamas-run health ministry, including more than 4,100 children
