Middle East conflict live updates: Israel to open Gaza aid routes after Biden’s demands in call with Netanyahu

Israel said it would open more aid routes into Gaza, including the Erez border crossing, hours after a call in which President Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States would reassess its policy on the war if Israel does not take immediate steps to address the humanitarian situation and the safety of aid workers. The call, three days after Israeli strikes killed seven World Central Kitchen workers, marked the first time the president has indicated a willingness to reconsider what has so far been ironclad support of Israel’s military campaign.
