The NATO military alliance has joined calls for a “humanitarian pause” in the Israel-Hamas conflict to allow critical aid to get into Gaza.
Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance’s secretary-general, told reporters on Thursday that they are supporting diplomatic efforts for a humanitarian cease-fire.
“International law must be respected, civilians must be protected, and NATO allies support a humanitarian pause to allow aid to reach Gaza,” he said in Berlin ahead of a bilateral meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“The suffering we have seen in recent weeks reminds us once again that we must not give up work for a lasting, peaceful, political solution,” Stoltenberg said.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7
