Some positive results following the conversation between Pres. Biden and PM Netanyahu earlier today.

The Israeli government announced some baby steps, including
- a commitment to open the Ashdod port for the direct delivery of assistance into Gaza,
- to open the Erez crossing for a new route for assistance to reach north Gaza, and
- to significantly increase deliveries from Jordan directly into Gaza.

Is it enough? Is it too late? No, but it's a start.

In the telephone call today with Israeli PM Netanyahu, Biden made it clear that "U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps."

Biden also underscored the need for an immediate ceasefire and to negotiate a deal to bring the hostages home.
