Israel agrees to daily ‘humanitarian pauses’ in Gaza – latest news
The home secretary referred to the protests as 'mobs'.
Israel has agreed to pause operations in northern Gaza for four hours a day from Thursday, the White House said.
In theory, this would allow civilians to flee along two humanitarian corridors, but Israel has consistently not kept its word and bombed areas where safety had been promised.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby described the paused as a ‘significant first step’.
Meanwhile in the UK, Suella Braverman is to work another day as Rishi Sunak has ‘full confidence’ in her despite her divisive article about pro-Palestine marches.
Writing in The Times yesterday, the home secretary accused the Metropolitan Police of ‘double standards’ in its handling of a pro-Palestinian protest planned for Armistice Day in London.
She said there is a ‘perception that senior officers play favourites when it comes to protesters’, adding that the ‘mobs’ are ‘problematic’.
Senior Labour politicians have called Braverman, among other things, ‘out of control’ and a ‘disgrace’ over the piece.
