No humanitarian ceasefire, just a ‘window,’ IDF says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe so-called “humanitarian ceasefire” brokered by the UN and set to begin at 10 a.m. local time “is not a humanitarian ceasefire,” says IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Moti Almoz. “The correct concept is a humanitarian window requested by the United Nations, [to help] the population trapped in Gaza under a regime that uses it as hostages.”
“We call on Hamas to allow Gaza [to have this window]. If we have to attack [to prevent rocket fire during the window], we won’t hesitate to do so,” Almoz says.
