The IDF announced on Sunday an indefinite 11-hour-a-day “tactical pause” in operations in the area around the Kerem Shalom border crossing that connects Israel to Gaza.

But the move was immediately slammed by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister and an ultranationalist who has demanded no aid enter Gaza at all.

Netanyahu’s office also issued a statement, saying the prime minister had no knowledge of the “tactical pause”, but had made clear to his military secretary that “this was unacceptable to him”.
