Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that Nato allies support humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Reuters reports.

He termed the move necessary to allow aid to reach Gaza.

International law must be respected and civilians be protected in the conflict, he told reporters in Berlin as he addressed the media before a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

“The war in Gaza must not turn into a major regional conflict. Iran and Hezbollah must stay out of this fight,” he added.
