Israel promises to open additional Gaza aid routes after pressure from Biden. UN demands accountability for possible war crimes. Israeli military dismisses officers over deadly airstrike on aid workers.
Israel has announced the temporary reopening of the Beit Hanoon (Erez) crossing in northern Gaza for humanitarian aid, in response to pressure from US President Joe Biden. The move comes after Biden warned that support for Israel's offensive would depend on efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Amidst the Middle East conflict, the Israeli military acknowledged errors in decision-making that led to airstrikes killing seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen.
In a significant development, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for potential war crimes and crimes against humanity. The call for accountability coincides with Israel's decision to open new aid routes into Gaza following the Biden-Netanyahu phone call. The US has welcomed Israel's actions in facilitating aid, emphasizing that the proof will lie in the results achieved on the ground.
As investigations into the deadly airstrike on the aid convoy continue, Israel's military has dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in the incident. The military admitted to grave errors and protocol violations that resulted in the tragic deaths of the aid workers. Despite the dismissal of the officers, questions remain about the credibility of the inquiry process and calls for an independent investigation persist.
In another development, Israel's security cabinet has approved the reopening of the Erez crossing with northern Gaza, marking a significant step towards easing the humanitarian crisis in the region. The approval follows the sacking of senior officers involved in the World Central Kitchen airstrike by the Israeli military's general staff, underscoring the seriousness with which the incidents are being addressed.
