Under US pressure, Israel agrees to humanitarian truce for polio vaccination Tel Aviv - Ma'an - Israel agreed this evening to a humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip for the purpose of the polio vaccination campaign without a ceasefire. Channel 13 reported that Netanyahu's office said, "This is not a truce, but merely the allocation of certain places in the Strip.
