Israel's Agreement to Open New Aid Crossing to Gaza in Response to Humanitarian Crisis
The NY Times is reporting that Israel has agreed to open an additional crossing for aid into Gaza, specifically the Erez crossing for aid into northern Gaza and the port of Ashdod.
Key Points:
- Biden's Request: Israel agreed to the opening of these crossings after a tense phone call between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
- Conditionality: Biden signaled that future support for Israel could be conditional on addressing civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
- Populace Impact: The measures are intended to improve conditions in northern Gaza, where displacement due to the Israeli invasion has severely affected the population.
