Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will urge the Israeli government to agree to a series of brief cessations of military operations in Gaza to allow for hostages to be released safely and for humanitarian aid to be distributed, White House officials said on Thursday.

The message comes as President Biden revealed on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel had previously agreed to halt shelling briefly on Oct. 20 to allow for the release of two Americans, Judith Raanan, 59, and her daughter, Natalie Raanan, 17.

Mr. Blinken will push for more of what American officials call 'humanitarian pauses' in the war when he arrives in Israel on Friday for another round of diplomacy amid fierce fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas, the group that controls Gaza.

Dick Durbin is going further:

Democrat Senator Dick Durbin calls for a "ceasefire" in Israel ' the day after a spokesman for Hamas said they will commit terrorist attacks "again and again" until Israel is annihilated

A cease-fire in Gaza accomplishes exactly zero; Hamas cannot remain in power.

There's also no way that Netanyahu is going to agree to that, as Israeli forces have almost cut Gaza in half:
