"Israeli Cabinet Approves Reopening of Erez Crossing for First Time Since October 7"

Israel's security cabinet has approved the reopening of the Erez crossing between Israel and northern Gaza to allow more humanitarian aid to enter the region, following mounting international criticism over Israeli strikes that killed aid workers. The decision comes after US President Joe Biden warned Israel to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza or face consequences. The Gaza Ministry of Health reports that more than 32,916 people have been killed since the October 7 terror attacks, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis in the region. Israel has faced accusations of restricting the entry of relief into Gaza, but has stated that there is no limit on the amount of aid that can enter.
