White House: 'We'll closely monitor' if Israel implements changes

Following Israel's recent attack on relief workers in Gaza, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby stated to Scripps News that the White House would closely monitor Israel's commitment to facilitating relief efforts in Gaza.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden engaged in a conversation with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The White House disclosed that during their exchange, Netanyahu assured Biden of the opening of the Ashdod port to enable direct delivery of aid to Gaza, the establishment of the Erez crossing for a new assistance route to reach north Gaza, and an escalation in aid deliveries from Jordan directly into Gaza.
