Statement by Saskia Ramming, Spokesperson for Mr. Robert Serry, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, on a humanitarian pause for Gaza

In response to queries, I can now confirm that Mr. Serry received confirmation from the Government of Israel that a
humanitarian pause will commence today, 17 July, at 10:00 a.m., for the duration of 5 hours, ending at 03:00 p.m. Mr. Serry appreciates this Israeli decision and repeats his call on Hamas and other factions to respect the humanitarian pause from their side, in the interest of the people of Gaza.
