Israel, Hamas agree on 12-hour humanitarian 'window'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a 12-hour 'humanitarian window' in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said that from 8am to 8pm tomorrow there would be a 'humanitarian window' in Gaza.

However an IDF spokesperson said it would "respond if terrorists choose to exploit this time to attack IDF personnel or fire at Israeli civilians".

A Hamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, said the group agreed to a 12-hour lull, starting at 8am local time today.

Britain’s United Nations ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said key foreign ministers will be meeting in Paris today “to decide precisely on the next steps” following failure to reach agreement on a sustainable ceasefire.
