US EditionNetanyahu Says Israel Open to ‘Temporary Ceasefire’ in Gaza Amid Global Pressure, Humanitarian Crisis

- Netanyahu indicated that Israel would be willing to pause military actions briefly if it helps secure the release of hostages, while rejecting claims of famine in Gaza as inaccurate.
- This openness suggests potential brief ceasefires could occur, but military operations will continue amid growing diplomatic isolation and aid challenges in Gaza.
