The White House expressed its approval of Israel's recent decision to open new entry points for aid to enter Gaza. This move was made in response to a request from President Trump following his conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
The US government emphasized that its policy towards Gaza could be subject to change based on Israel's prompt actions. The National Security Council spokesperson stated that Israel's commitment to opening the Ashdod port for direct aid delivery to Gaza, establishing a new route through the Erez crossing for assistance to reach north Gaza, and increasing aid deliveries from Jordan directly into Gaza must be swiftly and fully implemented.
The spokesperson reiterated that the US policy will be contingent on Israel's immediate actions, particularly in safeguarding innocent civilians and aid workers. The US government is prepared to collaborate closely with Israel, Jordan, Egypt, the United Nations, and humanitarian organizations to ensure the effective implementation of these measures, leading to a substantial increase in humanitarian aid reaching the vulnerable population in Gaza in the coming days and weeks.
