"Israel will begin to implement four-hour pauses in areas of northern Gaza each day, with an announcement to be made three hours beforehand," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

He later confirmed that in a call with Netanayhu that"I’ve asked for a pause longer than three days".Biden did not mention the four-hour pauses that the White House announced.
