Israel's war cabinet announced new measures to allow more aid into Gaza, including the opening of the Erez border crossing, on Thursday evening. The move came after a call between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which Biden warned that his administration's policy on the war in Gaza could change unless Israel took steps to ramp up aid provision and bolster protections for civilians and aid workers in the enclave. In addition, Biden called for an immediate cease-fire and urged Israel to take the initiative to resolve ongoing hostage negotiations, according to a readout of the call. "If we don't see changes from their side, there will be changes from our side," White House spokesman John Kirby said later.
