In a significant development amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, the Israeli military has agreed to temporarily suspend its operations in parts of Gaza. The pause is aimed at enabling humanitarian aid to safely reach civilians trapped in the war zone.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the pause, which will start on Sunday morning, will apply to "civilian centers" and "humanitarian corridors."

Israel will coordinate airdrops of aid into Gaza from foreign countries in the coming days, an Israeli security official confirmed to ABC News.

Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, aid officials say, with hunger now reportedly affecting civilians as well as journalists, doctors, and other personnel on the ground.

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is set to meet with Israeli and Qatari officials as the Trump administration works to secure a deal to end the war in Gaza.

Trump turned a far-right fantasy—ethnic cleansing in Gaza—into U.S. policy. He needs to reject it.

Israel’s war in Gaza is not a genocide. It is a war for a just cause, the elimination of a cruel, fanatical, itself potentially genocidal terrorist organization that oppresses its own people, holds innocent hostages and will pose a severe danger to the state of Israel so long as it holds power.

Trump urges Israel to "make the deal in Gaza" as envoy Ron Dermer heads to White House meetings, while Israel claims Hamas blocks return of 50 hostages held since Oct. 7.
