Following News 13's report this evening (Wednesday) that Israel had agreed to a ceasefire to enable vaccinations in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied the report.

"The News 13 report about Israel agreeing to ceasefires in Gaza is false. It is not a ceasefire for administering polio vaccines but only the allocation of specific places in the strip. Additionally, this was presented to the security cabinet and received support from the professional authorities," a statement said.
