Netanyahu Criticizes IDF's 'Tactical Pauses' in Rafah for Aid Deliveries
Jun 16, 2024, 12:58 PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) for announcing daily 'tactical pauses' in the fighting in Rafah, Gaza, without his approval. Netanyahu expressed his disapproval after hearing reports about the planned pauses on Sunday, deeming them unacceptable and contacting his military secretary. The IDF had initially planned for an eleven-hour daily humanitarian corridor to facilitate aid deliveries, but this plan was met with opposition from Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Despite the criticism, the IDF maintains there has been no policy change and continues its offensive in Rafah. The United Nations welcomed Israel's announcement of the pauses for aid deliveries, though the Israeli leadership remains divided on the issue. The conflict is now on day 254.
