The Israeli security cabinet has given approval to reopen the Erez crossing between Israel and the northern Gaza Strip. This decision comes after the October 7 Hamas attacks. An Israeli official informed CNN about this development on Thursday.
The purpose of reopening the crossing is to facilitate the entry of more humanitarian aid into Gaza. Additionally, the cabinet has agreed to utilize the Israeli Port of Ashdod to assist in the transfer of additional aid to Gaza.
