Axios’s Barak Ravid says US President Joe Biden demanded in his phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel reopen the Kerem Shalom goods crossing into Gaza, a key pathway for humanitarian assistance entering the territory.
He cites an unnamed senior American source.
The crossing was shuttered yesterday after Hamas fired rockets from Rafah at an IDF staging ground near the crossing, killing four soldiers.
