Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he may agree to pauses to let humanitarian goods into Gaza or to allow for hostages to leave the besieged Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“As far as tactical, little pauses — an hour here, an hour there — we’ve had them before,” he said.

Asked if he should take any responsibility for the October 7 attack, Netanyahu said “of course”.

“It’s not a question and it’s got to be resolved after the war,” he said, adding that his government had “clearly” not met its obligation to protect its people.
