Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday approved the resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza due to intense international pressure on the issue.

According to a Kan News report on Monday morning, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said at the meeting: “We need to bring in aid immediately. There’s enormous pressure in the European Union and threats of sanctions, also from the Americans. A series of foreign ministers spoke with me about the issue. Democratic and Republican members of Congress have also approached the Israeli ambassador to the United States about the issue.”
