The Biden administration says Israel has begun following through on steps to improve the Gaza humanitarian crisis that the US demanded be taken within a month. Israel has reopened the Erez Crossing to allow aid into northern Gaza and will open a new crossing into central Gaza in the coming days. They have also approved new delivery routes inside Gaza to ensure aid can be delivered to civilians. However, the number of aid trucks entering Gaza still remains below the minimum set by the US. The US is monitoring to ensure aid reaches Palestinians and is sustained, but it's unclear how much leverage the Biden administration has in curbing weapon shipments to Israel after Trump's election win.
