Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised plans announced by the military to hold daily tactical pauses in fighting along one of the main roads into Gaza to facilitate aid delivery into the Palestinian enclave.

The military had announced the daily pauses from 5am to 4pm local time in the area from the Kerem Shalom crossing to the Salah al-Din Road and then northwards.
