Israel Says It Will Allow Aid in Gaza After U.S. Warns of Possible “Policy Change”
Israel says it will open Gaza aid routes, including the northern Erez border crossing, after President Biden called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza in a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday. Biden also reportedly told Netanyahu future U.S. policy will be determined based on Israel’s actions to address the spiraling humanitarian disaster. Secretary of State Antony Blinken echoed the remarks as he spoke from the NATO headquarters in Brussels.
